Bear is a chocolate in color and he reminds me of your first dog that we had for 13 years. Bear is good company to me sence we lost our only daughter in 2003. We had another dog after our first on left us and he wasnot as good as Bear or Jordie our 1st dog. Bear gives me kisses and lets me know that he loves me. Bear waits for me to come home and hold him for awhile. bear is by myside all the time once I get home. He rides with me to the stores and to the campgrounds. He loves it out there. Give him and chair and as long as he can see me his ok. Bear fills the emptiness I have for my daughter. Jordie was our daughter's dog and Bear does to me what he did to her. I'm glad I got him. I love him (Bear). I got Bear in 2008.
