These gentle souls that pass through our lives make life worth living. I just wish they stayed with us longer.

I know they do not live as long as we do. I guess that gives us the opportunity to love more. I had several dogs in my life, always two at a time. God bless these animals and their caretakers.

A beautiful sentiment. Gentle souls that pass through our lives. That's so beautiful. What a very special relationship they had with him. A cosmically blessed relationship. I wish I were so lucky. 😪 So sad.

That just shows when you raise an animal with love they're not going to attack you, example my nephew had a pitbull and he was not one to attack anyone except to protect the instinct to protect the family but we didn't let her do all that pitbull fighting, cruel the teacher animal the fight like that. She lived and she was 15 years old

[@yeshua-jesusnetwork6408]

WOOW AWESOME THEY LOVE EACH OTHER. BIG BEAR.

[@jeffclark1129]

Jimbo was truly the Goliath of Kodiak bears and yet so gentle and affectionate. I still can't get over how huge his claws were. Yet there was Jimbo playing with Jim as you would a German Shepherd or Saint Bernard. I used to be both afraid and awed by giant bears, but they can be gentle with humans too, as shown here. Someday, I would love to see your bears, Amy and Jenny, Randy and Leo. Didn't Jimbo have a huge nose? He must have been very special. I also want to thank OWC for taking care of the gentle giants in an era of climate change, habitat destruction and political indifference. RIP JIMBO!😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
