What's up dog?

Bear has truly impacted everyone around him in the most wonderful ways. We rescued him when he was just 6 months old, and since then, he's been the best companion to our 13-year-old Golden Retriever, Buddy, who has arthritis. He's so protective and helpful to Buddy, bringing much-needed energy and happiness into our lives and Buddy's.

Every weekend, he brings so much joy to his grandparents when he visits them. Even with one of them going through heart surgery, he's been incredibly gentle around her. People always compliment his obedience and gentle manner when he's out on walks or on little adventures with us. Plus, he has such a unique fur color that makes him stand out even more.

We're so grateful for the love and joy he's brought into all of our lives.
