I got this dog because my work allowed me to bring her with me. Then some life issues occurred and I was on the hunt for another trucking job that would allow me to bring a 100lb dog. she’s my whole life. Bridget has saved me countless times mentally, she keeps me going. After 3-4 years of finally finding another trucking job that I enjoy and can actually do and may have a bit more freedom. We are back in the truck together.

Charlie (11) of Stephenville Newfoundland saved my friends mothers life!

Here is the story in my friends words:

“My 80 year old mother was heading off to pick blueberries. She was walking down a path with lots of bushes to get to her blueberry patch near the ocean. She jumped around a puddle to avoid getting her feet, wet and struck a rock and sustained a fall. She was unable to get up. She repeatedly tried, but she was in a swampy area with giant rose bushes all around her. She spent about six hours calling out for help and night was setting in. She was terrified, and it was later confirmed that during this ordeal, she had a heart attack. Perhaps that’s what initially led her to fall or perhaps it was the terror of being alone in the cold and dark by herself. There was a huge downpour of rain that lasted about an hour during her ordeal. Charlie the dog seemed a little unsettled and really wanted to go for a walk. My cousin’s roommate got a flashlight and decided that he would take Charlie out for a stroll. My cousin would usually walk her on a different route on the sidewalk. Charlie insisted on going down the path to the ocean even though it was a cold and drizzly night. This beautiful doggie led down the path where they discovered my mother. He (roommate) radioed for my cousin and they called the volunteer fire department that my cousin is a member of. They deducted that she had hypothermia and called an ambulance. They got her up over the hill and kept her warm until she was taken to hospital. 🖤🖤🖤🖤 this beautiful girl is responsible for saving my mother‘s life because there’s no way she would have survived in the elements close to the rugged ocean by herself. I’m so grateful to this doggy and she will regularly receive care packages of duck treats, which are her favorite. ❤️”

Newfie in the South

Hi everyone, I have been considering getting a Newfoundland for the last few years but my main concern is the heat and humidity of where I live. I’m in South Carolina and the summers are extremely hot. I obviously wouldn’t be leaving the dog outside during the summer and only doing morning/evening walks. I work from home so doggie will have plenty of company all the time. I also live right on the water and have a dock in my backyard so lots of swims and water time. Considering all these factors would it be reasonably to get one?
