I know that my dog, Bear, loves me. He follows me everywhere I go, won;t leave my side for a minute, and when I leave the house I can see him poking his sad face through the curtains in my son's room looking out at me. ("Mommy where you going?") He's absolutely the sweetest dog!! He used to also sleep on the bed, the best bed warmer in the winter..LOL, until we recently bought a new one and it is much taller and now he can't get up there. Thinking of building him some steps though. I have had him for 10 yrs now, got him as a rescue. He was found in a box in a dumpster with his sister. My friend couldn't keep him and she gave him to me for my birthday (after I had told her that I would take him if she couldn't). He's actually sitting at my feet at the moment. Here's a pic of him on the couch next to me.
