Description:Bear came to us from a county animal shelter where he became very ill with kennel cough and they were not sure he would make it, but he did and he is a very sweet dog who is scared of the shelter life and needs a home to call his own. Learned the Bear is called "SASQUATCH" in Indian ,
UPDATE:
Bear is the sweetest dog you could ask for. All he wants is to be right beside his person and to give lots of love and kisses. While in his foster home he got along great with my dog Lucy. He also interacted with a variety of my friends dogs and got along great with all of them. He is extremely friendly and laid back. Bear is also great with kids. My 4 year old nephew met Bear and was playing with him nonstop. Bear was gentle, loving, and patient with him. Bear is fantastic on walks. He stays right by your side. And while he was with me i never heard him bark.
All Bear seems to want is a loving home with a human he can lay on and give kisses to daily in return for getting some much loved belly rubs. He will make someone or some family the perfect companion.
*** According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Labrador Retriever is a loving, affectionate, lovable, patient dog. Once known as the "St John's Dogs," the Labrador Retriever is one of the most popular breeds in the United States. Originally from Newfoundland, Canada the Labrador was trained to jump overboard into the icy waters to haul fisherman's nets to shore. Specimens were brought to England in the 1800's by English ships coming from Labrador, where the dog's fine retrieving instincts were honed and developed. One of the best family dogs and canine companions because of their gentle, loving disposition, the highly trainable Labrador also excels in drug detection, as a guide for the blind, and service dog for the disabled. The breed is also an outstanding obedience and field trial competitor. Highly intelligent, loyal, willing, and high-spirited. Lively and good-natured, they love to play, especially in water - for they love to swim. They have an excellent, reliable, temperament and are friendly, superb with children and equable with other dogs. They crave human attention and need to feel as though they are part of the family. Labs are easily trained. These dogs are watchdogs, not guard dogs, although some have been known to guard. They have a life expectancy of 10-12 years.
