More: Bear was a rescue. He had no idea of how to be a dog. Bear didn’t know how to walk on grass, up steps or even play with toys. He had so much anxiety. Our golden retriever taught Bear how to be a dog. Bear turned out to be the most loving dog a family could ask for. He just wanted to be loved and give love. Unfortunately, he developed cancer in his mouth. He had part of his mouth removed. He may have not been a pretty dog but we thought he was beautiful. He never lost his love and affection for his family. He was always so happy.
