Terry’s daughter-in-law, Natalie, was the one who initially found Bear. Bear was a stray puppy who was sleeping on the porch of a torn down house near Natalie’s house. When Natalie and her husband spotted Bear, they just knew they had to rescue her. Bear was a bit chunky so they had no problem catching her as she couldn’t outrun them.
