More: Kuma was put on an auction block in Missouri, and saved by Zac's Mission. He was delivered to Big East Akita Rescue in NJ. They posted his "lot photo" and I fell in love with the image of a young undernourished, brindle dog. I connected with the wonderful B.E.A.R. and adopted the love of my life. Look at him now. He's come a long way baby!
