Today we went to a brand new retirement home. It was the most beautiful place with the most caring, loving people. Bear was a huge hit! I loved them and they loved him. ;D Here are some pics.
-
Oh he's such a good boy....I wish I had a dog I could do the therapy work with.
-
Ok Jamie, Bear is too cool looking, do you have a picture from the side with his little vest on. He looks too cool.
-
I love the one where Bear is looking up at the lady in the red! A definite AWWW moment. Congratulation s to you both!!

Good boy Bear!

That is my favorite one too. She was really sweet and as she left to go to her apartment she said, "Oh, I'll think about this big wonderful Bear all night! And I will look forward to next week's visit very much."
It made me wanna cry. ;D

Here you go Brandon...Bear's vest from the side view.

Jamie I am SO proud of you and Bear! I want to look into this when Boudreaux gets old enough. I think it is such a great idea to give back! <<hugs>> to Bear for being such a great dog and to you for giving back!
-
Those pics are wonderful - - my eyes welled up when I was looking at them - esp the pic. of the Bear with the woman in red .... sooooooo sweet! Way to go Bear - you are such a good boy! And a big hug for you Jamie - what y'all are doing brightens the days of so many people!
-
That vest looks so tiny on him. It's great that he can make peoples days better like that...keep up the good work Bear.
-
Jaime, I'm so proud of you and Bear! You both are doing such wonderful work! To see the smiles on all those faces! Bear is such a great ambassador for all our big guys! ;D
Give him hugs and drools from his southern pals!

Do any of the people seem put off by his size or are they excited that he is such a big boy? I really would like to do this here in town (we don't even have him yet and I am making plans already...lol)

There have been a few instances when people who are "scared" of dogs don't want to be near him but even they are intrigued by his size. Most people LOVE him and the fact that he is such an adorable giant fur rug...no grizzly bear....no shetland pony...no, I mean Newfy! ;)
-
What great photos! It is really neat to see Bear at work. I'll bet he really made their day brighter! :)

Good job Bear!! I can't wait till Boo starts her therapy work. She starts intermediate training Saturday. Jaimie does Bear have to have red on to identify him as a therapy dog? Bear is such a good ambassador for the big pawed!
-
That is so awesome! A big congradulation s for such a sucessful therapy dog! One day I hope to be able to do this with a dog and Bear is such an inspiration.

Good luck with Boo! And yes, TDI requires that the dogs have a red vest, a red buckle collar and leash. I like the red and think it is a great color to have the dogs wear. He also has a bright yellow tag on his collar that say "I am a therapy dog" and will have patches added to his vest if they ever make it here. :-\ The order got "lost in the mail" so we had to resend the paperwork and check. He will have a TDI patch that says "Pet me, I'm friendly" (a circle)and under it (smile shape) that says therapy dog and one from the AKC that says Canine Good Citizen.

awww!! those pictures are SO cute!! i hope that if fumble and bear look alike, that maybe they will end up alike! and he can be a therapy dog! :)
