Hey all! I'm just wondering if I'm the only lucky owner here of an American Eskimo dog. My boyfriend and I rescued an eskie named Bear from 
eople that abused him. His collar was held together with duct tape (stuck to his fur) for goodness sake. There were a lot of trust issues and he acted up for a long time, but now he's just an angel. He can stand on his hind legs for extended periods of time (depending on what is at the top of the stand)[
], and is just as cute & smart as can be. I plan to post some of my favorite pics of him later, but I'm at work right now.
