Bear had been caught in very large coyote, possibly wolf traps in Kentucky. He had laid there for days in the traps before he was rescued. His foot nearly had to be re-attached. The powerful steel jaws had broken the other leg too. Despite the incredible pain he has been through, Bear is a gentle, trusting dog.

Bear is a very pure dog. He is the perfect gentleman, yet when someone he sees alarms him, he becomes a fierce protector.

This is the little Mexican Hairless dog that I wrote about in the blog. He missed his connection to Canada, so I took him along with Bear the night I met the transport. It was very sad to see that this little guy had been tightly confined for so long that all he could do was walk and run in circles. Probably a puppy mill dog kept in a small kennel carrier or small cage his whole life. We took him for a very long walk through the woods, climbing over logs, walking through shallow streams running through fileds. By the end of our walk, the little guy was finally realizing the joy of walking in a straight line again. He was eventually transferred to his new owner in Canada.
