Bear, the Dog of the Day
Name: Bear
Age: Twelve years old
Gender: Male Breed: Yorkshire Terrier
Home: USA
 
   Bear is very special to me, because my late husband gave him to me for my birthday. Two weeks later my husband of 21 years was killed on our farm by a terrible freak accident. Bear was eight weeks at the time, still a puppy "Baby" so to speak, and he helped me quite a lot with the loss of my husband. So, what if my little bear is spoiled and can do no wrong? My husband loved the little dog also. In fact, he was the one who named him. Such a big name for such a little dog.

    Bear has brought me and my children much happiness over the years. I can still picture him laying on my husband's chest, both of them fast asleep. He was so tiny, you had to watch where you would walk. Bear thinks he is big. He would want to chase the cows and any other big animal that was around. I guess you would say he felt hehad to live up to his name. This little fellow means the world to me. My husband has been gone twelve years now, and when my birthday comes around in September, I look at my little yorkie "Bear" and know that my husband is spiritually with me.
