More: Bear is my husband’s service dog in training. He has already saved my husband’s life by alerting me when Bruce had difficulty breathing. Bear does not limit his sip to my husband. When he thinks anyone or any other animal needs help, he runs to me to get my help - to let the other dogs in or out, to fill water bowls, to let me know grandkids are being naughty, to let me know someone is sad and needs a hug.
