What's up dog?
Bear is the snuggliest little man around I am a music tutor and whenever any of my young students (4-10) start getting upset or stressed hes always there to lick there hands, snuggle them and bring them his favourite soft toy (Donald the duck). Alongside all he does for my students he is also a foster puppy dad. When there are lone newborn rescue pups in our community my partner and I foster them and usually have to bottle fed them while Bear cleans them, keeps them warm with cuddles, brings them blankets and teaches them how awesome playtime is.
