The Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center in Great Falls, Montana, held a “Newfoundland Appreciation Day” to honor Seaman, the Newfie that was companion to Lewis & Clark as they made their historic journey. My friend Kelley brought her adorable 9-month old pup, Grizzly, and along with some other proud Newfie companions, shared some tips and stories with the audience. I learned a lot about them – that they are water lovers, have webbed feet, perform amazing rescues, and are often confused with actual bears. OK, that last bit I made up. The dogs were great – putting up with endless petting and blazing sun and lots of clapping. Everyone had a good time!

Very cool dogs. I could see where some may mistake them for a ‘bar’.
