On October 9 , 2019, Mia and Bear had another amazing testimonial to Bear's amazing ability to track and rescue lost pets. Mia was contacted by the owners of another dog, named T. T. had been missing for over one month. We had asked the owners to leave T's toy and blanket for for Bear smell T's scent. The owner agreed to leave the toy/blanket hanging in the mail-box. After 4 days, of the blanket/toy hanging outside by the mail-box, we attended the home. Bear did smell T's Blanket/Toy, and began to track and search for T. We circled the area, various neighbourhoods of approximately 400 houses. The most amazing part; is that all of a sudden, Bear stopped and made a jerky movement to the front door of a home as in a B - line motion; he stopped abruptly and stared at us, then looked at the house once again. He marked this home. It was very obvious that Bear was alerting us to T. being, or had been in this house; it was very evident. Bear just stood dead in his tracks and pulled Mia to the front of this house. I then felt propelled to let the owner know, of how Bear reacted with this house and that she needed to go to the location of this house, to discover if her dog was there or had been there. Amazing,,,,,,,When T.'s owner went to the house, she discovered that, the person living in that home (which was about 2 blocks from her home) used to live in her basement as a renter. Bear had smelled T.'s scent on the renter; this is why Bear reacted so strongly to this house. T's owner was amazed that Bear picked up the scent from the previous tenant. As I, nor Mia have ever met T's owner, nor have we ever discussed any personal matters. T's Owner remains extremely greatful to Bear and Mia for helping her have this experience and knowing that there are some great people in this world. Mia does this from the bottom of her heart, because she wants to help. She loves animals and wants to bring some happiness and safety to the dogs. This owner wants Bear to continue his great skill and gift and this was a truly amazing experience for all of us.
