A distinguished Black Lab rescued from an Upper Peninsula shelter, Bear was a dog with unwavering loyalty who exuded companionship, comfort, gentleness, love and protection to his family. He was strong and fearless. Two characteristics which served him well on his many adventures, pursuits of deer or pouncing of groundhogs. He will be forever renowned for his expert frisbee catching and fire circler abilities. In his Senior Years, despite his failing health, Bear was devoted to emotionally supporting his family through difficult times. Bear’s presence is tremendously missed.
