Prepare to have immediate family with this incomparable brother around. Brother Bear -- gentle, affectionate, obliging -- makes friends and keeps them, usually from the first lean-in for a hug, or glance from his warm brindled face. There are few people who can resist. Looking for a morning, afternoon, or evening long companion at a cafe, park, brewery, or living room? Brother Bear might be the best go-everywhere buddy ever. Looking for a compassionate work-from-home colleague? Brother bear will happily sleep under your desk and keep your feet and spirits warm.
Brother Bear is gentle with people of all sizes, takes treats politely and gratefully, and enjoys resting near his human consorts. He has been gentle and independent around other dogs. We think that he could easily live with one or more other polite dogs. He also has not shown any prey drive around other animals. In his foster home, he currently lives with three chickens; showing no interest in them, or squirrels on walks, we believe he might be able to live peacefully in a home with cats. He is slow moving and will do best with patient walks while continuing to rebuild strength in his back legs. He came into the shelter both shy and under-exercised, resulting in some muscle atrophy. In his foster home, though, he is greatly enjoying the ability to explore, sniff, take walks in the fresh air, and be in the world. This kind of exercise of his legs and spirit will only continue to bring him and his forever family joy.
If you are looking for the kind of dog who will be as good (or better?) than a human friend or family member, this wise, kind, incredibly huggable giant, might be the brother for you.
