Deefer, it's great to meet an Irish Newfoundland. What a handsome big boy you are. One of our family owns a black Newfie, just like you. He strayed from his owner in a wooded park recently & soon his owner heard a woman's voice coming from the bushes,'Honey, help! There's a bear.' The Newfie had been found. Congratulations on becoming Dog of the Day. You really deserve that award because you are magnificent.
