Mind-Blowing Routine
Presently, Yogi exercises in a 3-acre paddock, the reason being its enormous weight of 210 pounds at the age of 10. Surely, this was not something Robert had originally planned for. Honestly, this was the exact situation which Robert was trying to avoid by bringing a small dog in the house.
Not That Cheap
The larger the dog the bigger it’s diet. No doubt, Yogi had an insatiable hunger for food. The couple suffered a serious dent in their budget as Yogi itself ate dog food worth $257. Apart from this at his breakfast, he would eat 4 sausages with scrambled eggs.
“Need Some Space”
There are bound to be some serious space issues when you have a dog measuring 6 feet and 10 inches in a small house. Yogi sleeps on a 2 person sofa and during winter it is an only a horse coat which fits him and keeps him warm.
Human Or A Dog?
After receiving such special treatment, Yogi is now no longer a dog, he enjoys the same benefit as that of a human.“He certainly thinks of himself as a real person,” Sue explained. “He sits on his own sofa and watches the TV with us.”
A Strange Sight
Despite, his imposing physique, Yogi has shown signs of being a very friendly and kind dog. The instance of him being friendly with a cat that started to visit the house in the year 2014, is an apt example of the above fact. The couple was astonished on witnessing this sight.
Regular Visits
The cat which pays regular visit to the house has also been named by the couple as “Toffee”. They understand the fact that the only reason for Toffee coming to their house is Yogi. “They’re good friends,” Sue said. “Toffee is always following him around, and he will happily lick her on the head very gently. The bear sees Toffee as his own pet, I think, as she’s certainly not our cat.”
