My brother Bear's story

My foster brother - Bear - has his own rescue story.

It is a short story but both saddened and angered foster Mom when she  heard so must be worth   telling....

My foster Dad (Uncle Franklin)  manages the apartments in 4 villages so travels around them daily and gets to know the tenants by stopping and chatting.

Well, one day he stopped to chat to Bear Dog who belonged to a tenant..he loved chatting to Bear who is a Black  Labrador X Chow and loves everyone!

Bear's owner came out and said this is the last time he would see Bear as he  was taking him to be put down the very next day!

Now Bear was 10 then, blind in one eye but happy as Larry...( I just asked Mom who Larry was but she tells me it is just a saying! pah!! humans are strange creatures lol)

Franklin asked why Bear was being put down and was shocked by   the answer. It was because he had accidently tripped his  owner's wife up.........Maybe she came up on his blind side so he did not see her in time?

Uncle Franklin was so disgusted he said " Oh no you are not, Bear is coming to live with   me!" opened  his truck door and said " Come on Bear " Bear loves car rides so did not need asking twice!!

That was 4 years ago and   Bear Dog and Uncle Franklin have been best buddy's ever since.

Thank goodness there are decent people in this world like Uncle Franklin,Aunt Melissa,Uncle Scott and Mom......

My wish is that every dog has a human in his/her life that rescues them from being destroyed/starved/abused and plays a part (however small it seems to them) in giving every dog living in fear/hunger/despair..HOPE. and a  SECOND CHANCE at life no matter how old they are.

Much love and waggles,
