More: Bear is my tireless adventure buddy, he's always ready and willing for a hike, camping, a game of fetch or tug...or most of all a chance to swim. Bear is a fanatic when it comes to water. If there's water near by he wants in, no matter the weather! He also the best trail boss out there, ensuring we all stick together as he proudly leads us along the trail. He's eager to greets other hikers with his happy smile and his wagging tail. He was fortunate enough to keep his tail and we all think it's fantastic. I took this photo on a warm Summer's day in the Mt Hood Wilderness (our weekend stomping grounds).
