By Bear being the smallest, he became a determined explorer. As he grew, his independence and natural curiosity peaked. This led him to break out of their fenced home and into the wild.
The pup sniffs the fresh air and discovers the many enticing scents he picks up. Bear moved farther and farther from his safe home until he found himself by the edge of a river.
This time, the pup couldn’t figure out where to go and sits tight, whimpering, and wondering what to do next.
Fortunately for Bear, mama dog’s just finishing a walk around the area. She picks up a familiar scent and runs to her runt.
That feeling of relief must have filled the puppy and mama dog too. We’re glad nothing terrible happened; let’s keep it that way, okay?
When the Rotties are big enough to join a forever home, they’re all placed out for the picking. Bear’s siblings find theirs while the pup wonders if he’ll get one too.
