Meet Bear - a rescue dog who is waiting for his forever-home after spending four-years in kennels.

Elizabeth Cooper, a volunteer dog walker, says Bear has been overlooked because he is 'not cute and small' and he can be overly enthusiastic - but he would make the ideal pet for a patient person who enjoys walking.

00:00 Poor Bear, he did have a home over four years ago with a gentleman, but the gentleman changed
00:09 his job or I don't know what the circumstances were and he couldn't keep him, so he had to
00:14 go into kennels.
00:18 It's not cute, it's not fluffy and he's not small, which is what people want, possibly
00:25 because he's a boy.
00:27 Everyone seems to want girls.
00:29 When he meets people he's quite enthusiastic, a lot of people don't want that.
00:36 People want a dog that they can just put a lead on and go for a walk and stroke.
00:42 I know Bear now and I can do that to him, I can stroke him and we've got a connection
00:49 and I would have Bear if I didn't have dogs.
00:53 He spent more of his life in a kennel than out of it and the thing is they become institutionalised
00:59 as well.
01:00 As I said, he gets to the point where he doesn't know anything else but us, this little bit
01:07 of surrounding in his kennel and it's a shame, it really is.
01:10 He just likes walking.
01:13 It's going to be somebody that likes walking, it doesn't have to be a ten mile walk, a mile
01:19 walk in the morning, half a mile in the afternoon, or perhaps a bit in the evening in summer.
01:27 Really just to spend time with him, it's like when you meet somebody that's going to be
01:33 significant in your life, you want to get to know them first.
01:36 I'm just hoping and praying that his lucky star is going to come along and somebody is
01:40 just going to come along and just think, yeah, let's do it.
