Bear, the Dog of the Day
Name: Bear
Age: Six months old
Gender: Male Breed: Yellow Labrador Retriever
Home: Whittier, California, USA
 
   Our dog's name is Bear. He is a "Nearly White" Yellow Labrador Retriever. In this picture, he was eight weeks old. He is our "polar bear" dog. When we went to pick him out at the kennel, there were about fifteen puppies from different litters. All of the rest of the puppies were jumping and barking and excited. But Bear just sat calmly in the corner and looked at us with his huge, beautiful brown eyes, as if to say, "Hello. Pick me." It was love at first sight!

    He has continued to be the calmest, sweetest, most gentle puppy in the world. Bear almost never barks. When we come home from school, he sits quietly outside and waits for us to come and give him some pats on the head. Bear loves to swim. When we are in the pool, Bear loves to jump in and swim with us. He also loves soccer! We take him on long walks to the park, and he has his own (very torn) soccer ball, which he fetches and runs around with. When you kick the ball toward the net, he chases after it, to keep it from going in. We think that in a few more months, we'll be able to call him our own personal goal keeper! We have never had a dog that we have loved so much. He is the best dog in the universe!
