The dog was incorrigible. The dog wouldn’t listen to anything. Recently, that dog’s face was held in the hands of a dying man who whispered, “Man’s best friend.” Bear is now an official therapy dog bringing comfort and smiles to people who are hurting.
He is gentle with babies. He seeks out children to warm their hearts. He is kind to hospice patients. He sparks good memories in the elderly. He was a gentleman when petted by a state senator.
It took work. Three years of intermittent formal training, at home constant consistency, and of course some maturity, have shaped him into a well behaved dog who loves to bring joy to everyone he meets. He leads a rich life because he now fits into the human world.
But he still has plenty of time to be Truman Blue’s goof-ball little brother.
