All dogs, regardless of breed, age, or appearance, are good boys and girls. And each dog has the right to be labeled a nice boy or girl on a daily basis.
How about if I told you that not all canines ever hear those enchanted words? Isn’t that a horrible situation?
Seeing children respond the way Bear did upon hearing for the first time that he was a good boy is even more tragic.
Bear was a good boy, really. Simply put, he was living with the wrong people, who never expressed their gratitude to him. Bear’s life was too terrible, but it didn’t have to get any worse once he was given up to the shelter.
Bear’s future really got a little brighter when he found himself in the care of Animal Friends Of The Valleys in Wildomar, California, and he heard those kind words for the first time: “You’re a good boy, Bear.”
It’s The First Time Someone Told Him He’s Good
You kind of start believing you are something when someone tells you repeatedly that you are. Bear never received any kind words. He was constantly sent to the corner, cursed at, and told he had no value. And that’s how Bear began to feel.
He was searching for food outside the trash cans of a neighboring Wildomar Chick-fil-A when he was discovered by rescuers. He was sorely undernourished, horribly abandoned, and in need of affection.
Bear was a canine with a damaged soul. If only there were someone who could make him smile again.
Things got quite hard in the shelter, which made Bear feel even more unhappy. Not very pleased when you find yourself in a room full of dogs who have all met the same end. You start to wonder if the suffering will ever come to an end.
Luckily, things weren’t too gloomy for this adorable Vizsla boy. There’s only one direction to go when you’re at the bottom: up, toward better times and sunshine. When Rocky Kanaka appeared, Bear saw that the universe was shifting to give him hope for better times.
Another dog who wound up in Rocky’s “Sitting With Dogs” project was Bear. This is a great concept that aids in the gradual desensitization, resocialization, and healing of anxious dogs with traumatic histories.
Rocky proceeded cautiously, as usual. He could tell by Bear’s appearance that the poor puppy had experienced a lot and had visited the shelters frequently, where he had grown a kennel nose from all of his pushing against the bars.
As Rocky gave the treats to Bear, one by one, they began to disappear. Bear felt more at ease as he took the initial step toward lowering his guard. Rising from the corner, he began to smell everything around him, even giving Rocky a thorough lick.
Bear wanted to share his love with everybody who would listen since he was so full of it. Rocky paid attention.
When Rocky named Bear a nice boy, for the first time in his life, Bear behaved in a totally different way.
Bear reacted with a wagging tail, perky ears, and a sparkle in his eyes when Rocky named him a good boy midway through the video that he released. Those remarks affected him. Bear always knew he was a good boy.
All he needed was a reminder from someone.
Bear refused to let the prior experience to permanently scar him. True, he was mistreated and undernourished, yet his body recovered. His soul also did so.
Rocky was positive that Bear would make a wonderful adoptive child with a little care.
My Hooman Calls Me Good Boy Every Day
Bear received a human father, along with a baby sister, a new name, and a fresh start.
After seeing him at the shelter, Bear’s new father saw the footage of Rocky.
He was aware that he needed to take the Viszla for himself. His dad, Mats, had owned a Vizsla before, so he understood how to handle this amazing breed. Bear or Shadow began to bloom in the proper hands.
7Bear became a viral phenomenon on the Internet with a little assistance from the Mets and his sister, Sigyn, a Husky. Millions of people watched the footage of him with Rocky. It was evident to everybody how he responded to those kind words: “You’re a good boy, Bear.”
Bear, who is now Shadow Moon, has a wonderful existence full of antics with dogs. He hears from his owner that he is a good boy all the time, every day. This dog has come a long way from being all skin and bones to learning for the first time that he is a good boy.
Bear had changed dramatically in just his first two weeks of living with the Mets. He had a fresh start in life and was like a brand-new dog.

At last, Bear, also known as Shadow Moon, receives all the affection he deserves.
Mets eventually even posted a video of Shadow’s response to being referred to as a nice kid. Worthless? Of course! There is something so precious about this adorable dog’s soul. Additionally, if you visit Shadow Moon’s Instagram account, you may see it for yourself.
