"Mom says when dad (man), Mokie (bear) and I (pig) wrestle, we merge to become the entity known as...MANBEARPIG! 1/2 man, 1/2 bear, 1/2 pig. I'm cereal!"
"Pre-surgery, this is what my yucky tumor looked like!"

"In true Saint Bernard fashion"
"I'm happiest when I'm laying down...or eating...or humping Dakota. But really, laying down is where it's at."
Likes: Mocha Bear, and Food! Bully sticks, bumping into things, knocking things over, food, walks, humping, annoying kitties, being in a safe, forever home with LOTS of love, oh, and SLOBBERING!
Pet-Peeves: anyone who isn't paying attention...not eating...unfortunately, other dogs as well, but we're working on that. Fasting before surgery. Mokie waking him up for wrestling.
Favorite Toy: Mocha, momma's fleecy ropes, buster cubes, kongs, Ahab
Favorite Food: EVERYTHING! RAW, plastic grocery bags, recyclables, tarps, Tevas, wooden spoons, tanning lotion bottles, soda bottles, emptied egg cartons, styrofoam meat trays, anything he can reach in the sink and on the counters
Favorite Walk: Greater Binghamton Health Center, up the street!
Best Tricks: Right now, we're working on loose leash, reactivity and reducing the frequency of humping
Arrival Story: My husband and I decided that we should get a brother for Mocha. I've always wanted a Saint, and so perused petfinder with great interest, intent on bringing a big slobbery lug into our family. After a couple of months of searching, I found Monte. Three hours away from my home, he had come to a rescue emaciated, unsocialized, with worms, fleas, never having been vetted, and had lived tied to a rope outside of someone's house. He was a mess, disgusting. I fell in love, and luckily my application was approved. When he first saw me, he ran across the room to me, leaned against me as hard as he could, and looked at me as if to say "Can we go home now, mom?" His name, then Beethoven, was changed to Monte and taught to him on the ride home from rescue with an order of McDonald's chicken McNuggets. He was the smelliest, dirtiest, skinniest dog I'd ever met. It was a long, frustrating, and exhausting road nursing him back to health. His physical and behavioral problems were ofen near overwhelming. Throughout all of this, Monte has become the most wonderful teacher I've ever known. I've learned more about dogs from having shared our home with him than I'd ever thought possible. Each day we continue to learn together and from each other, and he seems to be thriving and healthy and the happiest, most thankful dog I've ever known after the last year with us. Although he is a challenge, he's also helped me to fall in love with the breed, I think now I'll always have a Saint!
