    He was so sweet, but when anyone approached me who he didn’t trust, he’d put himself between me and them and growl or bark.

    Have you ever had a 200lb dog the size of a small couch staring you down and giving a deep, menacing “boof”? Safe to say people steered clear, and he was back to happily acting as a living pillow for me and my siblings. He got to nap, we got to nap, and he got to keep us safe and protected, he loved it.

    And the age old question asked by a radio announcer at a fair - “Is that a black bear or a grizzly bear? …it’s a puppy!!?”

    He was terrified of stairs, though, poor thing

      I guess the stairs failed to back away slowly when he boofed menacingly at them. 🤣

        Poor dear would tremble when he needed to get in the car. My dad had to bend down and scoop up all 250lbs of him to get him in there. He really thought he was a lap dog sometimes.
