More: Bear is the smartest dog we’ve ever known. He Ioves to be outdoors and is a vigilant watch dog. Bear is also a real lover, and full of personality. We adopted him at 4 months old after being rescued from a dumpster in Mississippi. Bear is the “mayor” of the neighborhood and is known to many. He keeps us in shape with his twice-a-day walks. We haven’t missed a walk for any reason in his 10 years! Bear makes us laugh and brings us so much love and joy every day.
