Say hello to Baloo<\/a>, an 8-month old Chow Chow<\/a> who\u2019s named after the bear in Rudyard Kipling's<\/a> The Jungle Book<\/a><\/em>. This curious little guy seemed to be as interested in us as we were in him! Just look at that face!<\/p>\n

When we first noticed Baloo walking through a Kenmore Square<\/a> park, we thought he had just stepped out of the show ring.<\/p>\n

The magnificent Chow Chow is often described as regal, very intelligent, beautiful, aloof, loyal, affectionate with family members, dignified, independent, and sometimes stubborn. <\/p>\n

Baloo Doing His Best Bear-Like Pose<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

You may have first come to know the name Baloo from the Disney version of The Jungle Book<\/em><\/a>,
\nwhere the fun-loving, laid-back singing bear became the movie\u2019s most
\npopular character. And, since the Chow Chow has roots in China where
\nthe breed is sometimes referred to as Hsiung Kou or bear dog, we think
\nthe name is genius!<\/p>\n

Sunday Dog Baloo is not capable of singing (as far as we know), but he does possess extraordinary \u201chealing powers.\u201d This furry funnyman managed to rouse his person from a deep funk by trotting up to her with an enormous branch, 3-times his size, as she describes experiencing \u201cthe purest joy!\u201d<\/p>\n

Baloo, you are amazing! <\/p>\n
