As a consolation, here is maybe the best photo I have stalked off Facebook:
For anyone that ever came to my Kaleen house when I lived in Canberra, you'd know of these two!
Bear was my sister's dog. He was a Pyrenean mountain dog. My sister saw the breed on TV (possible the pet section on Burke's Backyard) and decided to buy one. It got delivered to our house as a puppy - it was as big as s fully grown German shepherd and only got bigger! By the time I moved to Canberra, she couldnt take it back to Sydney with her so gave it away to the older couple that lived over the back fence. I used to go back often to say hello. He died some time after I'd left.
Milo might look familiar. He's actually the father of my Oscar. If you came to the house and you were non-Asian, he probably tried to bite you. He used to hang out with his brother Diesel (the husky) and Miew (the burman cat). Milo used to walk me to the bus stop and see that I was gone. Or run with me on the bike until he got tired and turned around to go home. When our grass outside was really long, he'd eat the field mice that ran into the house. One winter day during my final year, Milo disappeared. All that was left was his little raincoat sitting in the backyard. We never knew what happened to him and it left Diesel heartbroken and depressed and began eating everything in sight and turned from a fit dog who ran about 6kms a day with Geraldine to not being able to walk from the living room to the kitchen without lying down. Sad.
