Bear - A Three Legged Dog

When I photo'd this dog, I did not know his name. After posting it to the internet I received a comment from his owner who identified him as her dog, Bear, who likes to greet visitors to the covered bridge where I was taking photos. She said that Bear and a canine companion had been shot by unauthorized hunters on a neighbor's farm about eight years before.. The companion dog was killed. Bear's leg was shattered so badly it had to be amputated. Seen at Easley Covered Bridge, Blount County, Alabama (IMG_8037)
