Rob and Sharon Kenner had been without a dog for nine years since their last dog died. Although they were looking for an older dog, they visited a breeder who suggested they “rescue” a dog who had been returned because the owner went into Hospice. Bear, an Australian Doodle, was just a year old and so adorable with his curly black coat and floppy ears that he inherited from his mother, he won the Kenner’s hearts.

Bear has only been living with the Kenner’s in the Valley for a couple of months. He is genuinely sweet and wants to please in every way but he is still in the puppy chewing stage. His diet consists of dog food, shoes, reading glasses, tissues, napkins, inside and outside plants and anything else he can find. He recently chewed on an electric cord but luckily it wasn’t pulled in!

Rob recently saw a tee shirt printed with “My dog can’t

hold his licker” . That sums up life with Bear!
