Bear, the Dog of the Day
Name: Bear
Age: Five years old
Gender: Female Breed: Great Dane, Rottweiler Mix
Home: Winchester, Virginia, USA
 
   This is "Bear." Bear's a mixed Great Dane and Rottweiler. Although everyone says, she looks like a Black Lab. Bear turned five years old in March of 1999 and weighs around 95 pounds. I got Bear at Ester Boyd Animal Shelter in Winchester, Virginia when she was just nine-weeks old. She was my first puppy and what a hellion. She was always tearing or chewing something up. I think she's gotten over that now but I still don't take any chances.

    She thinks she's a lapdog, and she's my best friend. She lives with her sister (Dallas) and brother (Shadow). Dallas is a two-year-old mixed Saint Bernard/Bull Mastiff, and Shadow is a four-year-old eleven-pound poodle. They have their own back yard to run in and we all go for rides in the Blazer on the weekends. They also go to this big farm sometimes and fun. Bear enjoys eating, preferably people food, though she doesn't get it too often. She likes playing with the sister and brother, and yes, running like she's lost her mind! She likes playing with her toys and chewing on her bones. She has a monkey in particular that is considered "her baby" that no one else is allowed to play with. She likes to watch TV, but usually her and Dallas end up standing in front of the TV and I have to change the channel for a few minutes. She likes to give hugs up on her hind legs, and dance that way too. Bear is considered my best friend, and although I have two other dogs and love them very much, I do have a special bond Bear.
