Dog Video - Another Smart Rescue Dog

Posted by Clare Bristow

I'd like to share this dog video with you - not only is it amusing but it stars Zoe and Fritz's great friend Lucky Bear.

Like Toula, Lucky Bear is a rescue dog. He was found wandering near a stream in an Auckland suburb when he was just five weeks old (we think), and was adopted by my friend Leeanne.

The video is Lucky's latest commercial for a DVD company, but he's the star showing off a number of tricks Leeanne has taught him.

Lucky Bear was lucky to be rescued, and is even luckier to have Leeanne as his Mum - she's taught him to be the gentle 55kg giant he is, and he has a busy life. When he's not staring in TV commercials, he is a therapy dog visiting old and mentally ill patients at the hospital and just 'being there' for terminally ill children who want a dog they can pat and cuddle.

Rescue dogs make wonderful pets, and really do deserve a second chance at life - Johann the Dog has a web site dedicated to rescue dogs, appropriately called Helping Pups, that's full of information on breed rescue groups, animal shelters, adopting dogs, plus a healthy dose of heart-warming stories.
