Look at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a

hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at

the hundred-and-first blow it will split in two, and I know it

was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone

before.

Hi , again! LOL I am not sure what you are curious about, so I will

tell you about Bear. Bear was a rescue dog. He was one step away from the

pound when he came to live with us. He is very connected to his Daddy! He is

large, a newfoundland. Lots of long black hair, kind of like a black St,

Bernard, maybe a little smaller. He likes to sit by his Daddy, and look sad at

him, then Daddy pets his head. As soon as Dad;s hand is extended, Bear loops

his

paw over his Dad's hand, thus creating a " holding on " effect. He self taught

himself to know when Don needs a jump start. We were not sure when he first

figured out that Don needed help, but it worked, thus reinforcing the

behavior. I had him certified as a Service Dog because of his abilities. He is

with

Don 24/7. Once when I was grocery shopping, Don had a spell, called 911, and

Bear had to be locked away because they could not work on Don. Bear just got

between them. Good thing they carry doggie treats and it worked! He is 5

years old now, and as sweet as a sugar cube, as long as you don't want to get

between him and his family! Hugs, Marilyn
