Bear, the Dog of the Day
Name: Bear
Age: Three years old
Gender: Female Breed: Black Chow
Home: Rio Rancho, New Mexico, USA
 
   Bearsie was found by my mother out on the mesa one day while walking her other dog. She had been abandoned, and sitting there with burrs in her fur growling and barking at my mother. My mother walked up to her and asked the little black furball "Do you want to go home with me?" The little black furball wiggled it's tail happily, so mom picked it up and carried it home. Mom called the animal control to come and get the puppy after she had gotten a bath and a long brushing. Animal control came and took the puppy away. Mom however couldn't get the happy little bundle of fluff out of her mind. So after the five day waiting period, mom went down and picked the puppy back up from animal control. Bear from then on became one of the family. She's the protector of the family and barks and growls at anyone not in the direct family. She loves lying outside under the apple trees in the shade and tormenting my parents other dog, all in play of course. She thrives on attention and if you are ignoring her, she'll knock you off your feet and lay on you. She's a ham for the camera and a sucker for a hotdog. But she's our loveable Bearsie.
