Greetings Bear and happy Dog of the Day to you, sweet boy! What a hunky-handsome pup you are, and true to your breed, the consummate sportsman and athlete! As we can see from your awesome photos, whether donning your vest for a day out in the field, or your life jacket for an afternoon of fun on the high seas, you're up to any all challenges, aren't you Bear! But it is in your role as your proud mom Marie's best friend and loyal and loving companion that your star shines most brightly! What a lucky lady, having a pup as handsome and loving, as smart and loyal as you as her soul mate! I so enjoyed reading your story today, Mr. Bear...and thanks to your Mom for submitting such fab photos! I hope you and your family all, enjoy the happiest day of celebration, and a lifetime of love filled years yet to come! Hugs and smoochies to you beautiful Bear, our most deserving, extra special Dog of the Day!(Now if you wouldn't mind, my Lab Star would appreciate a few pointers on executing that most impressive ice cube maneuver of yours!)
