Little Black Bear and Three Baby Bears
View Baby Album
Her long,
lonely wait is over.
For weeks
she was alone in a field, probably dumped and waiting to go
home.
Too
frightened to be touched by humans, she survived those weeks
because of the kindness of an area business owner and a
neighbor who saw her plight. Both set out food and
exchanged notes about the little black dog.
She also
was given a name – Lady Bear.
In
mid-April, the neighbor stopped as usual to put out food,
leaving her car door open. Bear cautiously approached, then
climbed in, knowing she needed to find a safe puppy place.
The next
day, safe for the first time in months, she birthed three
puppies, arrangements for the little family’s future were
made with the Tulsa SPCA, and she was a TV star featured
with Rick Wells on KOTV, Channel 6 in Tulsa!
Bear is a
small Chow mix with copper highlights on a soft black coat
(now that the many mats are gone!) and gentle eyes, timid
with human strangers, a loving Mom with her babies.
Puppies –
Tux, Tippy and Ty – are various combinations of mostly black
with white on neck, chest, paws and tail’s end.
They were
born Friday, the 13th , a lucky day for new life
at the end of a long lonely wait. |
