Another update and this one just warms my heart even more. I'm sending an email tonight to Heather to see how we can donate.

"I just wanted everyone to know that Bear is doing well and seems to be adjusting to his environment (and actually trying to “mark it as his own”)! Aside from his occasional wetting in the house, he is a perfect pet for us.

Last night, our daughter (Amelia) was exhausted and she had a meltdown at bedtime. Bear was very concerned about her. I was walking her to her bedroom, she was crying, he followed us back and I had to call him several times to get him to leave her room (he is typically very responsive to his name). Finally, he came back out to the living room with me, but he immediately went back to her room and stayed there with her until she stopped crying (probably about 2 or 3 minutes) and then he came back out with my husband and I. My heart melted for him at that point, I know for sure that he will be protective of her and he was meant to be with us. I will get updated pictures, he almost does not look like the same dog anymore!"
