We lost someone recently. Someone close to our hearts.

His name was Bobba — and while some would say “he was just a dog,” to us, he was family — loyal, gentle, and present for every chapter of our story. A quiet reminder of why kindness matters.

Bobba is a pitbull with a big smile and an even bigger heart. If you’ve ever visited our Kuta outlet, you might’ve met him or seen his picture above the toilet, kindly inviting you with the caption: “Please have a seat.”

Bobba had a way of making people pause. Pitbulls get judged quickly — but Bobba undid all that with a look, a presence, a calm warmth you couldn’t ignore.

We’re still grieving. His absence is loud. But his memory is louder.
He wasn’t just around. He was with us — in the quiet moments before opening, curled up during prep, quietly watching over our little team like a guardian in the background. Always gentle. Always there.

🐾 Still With Us – A Dog Memorial Inside Our Vegan Restaurant

You’ll still find Bobba in our Kuta outlet — not walking around, but framed on the wall, still smiling, still welcoming you. He reminds us (and maybe you too) that all animals have the capacity to love, and that love deserves to be met with compassion.

Bobba wasn’t the reason we started Sauce Tree —
but he was with us when we did.

From the first idea to every new outlet, he was there. Watching. Waiting. Loving.

And in that presence, he sparked something. A reminder. A reason to keep showing up for the voiceless, and to keep growing with kindness.

This dog memorial at our vegan restaurant isn’t just for Bobba — it’s for every animal who’s shown us what real love looks like:

Love without condition.
Without expectation.
Without words — but louder than any voice.

Rest easy, Bobba.
You were a good boy.
And you’ll always be part of why we keep going. 🐾
