Baloo is a big, meaty 4-year-old, but he still acts like a puppy. Or rather a baby. You see, he’s afraid of thunder and will be a big, 70-pound baby when he hears it. He just needs to find his thunder buddy, and he’s fine. He’s also very special, as you can see in the photo. He has a special jaw because of a previous injury. Other than the fear factor, Baloo is an amazing kid: He loves people, loves all toys, he sleeps in his crate and he’s a big cuddle bug. If you’re interested, take Baloo on a doggy date sometime.
