BEAR (Estabelle Czolek Medvedko) 26/02/2001-24/11/2004

After being injured in a lift at Earls court with his owner leaving Discover Dogs, Bear is thought to have contracted a serious viral infection such as streptococcol... after less than a week with what seemed to be spinal/leg injuries Bear passed away unexpectedly 9am 24th November 2004 at home aged just 3years old.

Bear was a much loved pet,companion & friend he will be dearly missed by his family & friends.He had many admirers from his appearances every year at both Crufts & Earls Court Discover Dogs booths.

Rest now precious Bear we will see you again.....

Rainbow Bridge....
There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colours. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows, hills and valleys with lush green grass.
When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place. There is always food, water and warm spring weather. The old and the frail animals are young again. Those who are maimed are made whole again. They play all day together.
There is only one thing missing. They are not with their special person who loved them on Earth. So, each day they run and play until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up. The nose twitches! The ears are up! The eyes are staring! And this one suddenly runs from the group!
You have been seen, and when you and your special friend meet, you take him or her in your arms and embrace. Your face is kissed again and again and again, and you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet.
Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated.
