When Amanda heard about Bear, a scared, abandoned dog in the Evan’s Creek mountains, she knew she had to help. Despite hours of searching with her friend Dylan, Bear avoided their attempts to approach him.

Determined, Amanda tried a bold plan: she lay on the ground, pretending to be helpless. After hours of waiting, Bear’s curiosity brought him closer, and Amanda patiently gained his trust. Eventually, Bear followed her to safety.

After receiving care and a health check, Bear was adopted by a loving family. Amanda’s creativity and compassion turned his life around, proving the power of persistence and kindness.
