	Madison October 19, 1995 - April 26, 2007 Sure to be a star- just different from my plan. At six months of age, I was told by a veterinarian to put him to sleep as he had hip and elbow dysplasia. He was crippled by the disease but happy as puppies are. My comment was no! He may not be a champion but if he is happy and can get around then, he has a home forever. Well, he was not a champion in the show ring but he was a champion at listening to the hearts of children. He was a therapy dog in the elementary schools for 8 years. On one occasion, a child at school was so scared as she had been mistreated and sexually abused at home by her father that she would not talk to the teacher or counselor’s just coward in the corner of the room. She was given the task of caring for Madison and it wasn’t long before she confided in Madison telling him the story about what had happened at home the night before. Madison listen, licked her little face and gave her the courage to talk. That night, her daddy went to jail. You see this little girl could have harbored those feelings for the rest of her life but because a big-hearted fury friend listened, she was able to get the help she needed. Madison died in April and there is such a void at TimberKnoll because his body is not here but I know he lives on in the lives of the others. In fact, he and Sydnee were in separable. She slept and napped with him and followed along when he would venture out to walk. I know he shared with her some wisdom about what it is like to be a big dog and to love and care for those around you big and little. CH Mt Bears Hudson of TimberKnoll CGC (Hudson) February 28, 1998 Our first Champion and our first sire. He came to TimberKnoll at six weeks of age and has been a leader ever since. Hudson is now nine years old. That is hard to believe as time has gone way to fast. He was such a grand puppy trying out his working dog skills at the young age of one year. The house was decorated for Christmas and the tree was just beautiful. Well, Hudson decided to move it to another room. That’s right, a beautiful 10ft. tree and all the decorations went crashing to the floor he then took hold of the top and began to pull actually moving it. Let me tell you- that is one puppy that almost went back to his breeder. Now, a champion and nine years later is a true Newf, as he loves people and helped Patti Sutherland an Administrator at CD Owen High School in Black Mountain, NC start the Hudson Ambassadors Club. This is a school club using Hudson, Tess and Oscar as therapy dogs. CH Mt. Bear’s Oscar of TimberKnoll CGC (Oscar) January 8, 2001 Oscar is the biggest, happiest, strongest 180 lb gentle giant that one could ever dream of. His heart is so kind and loving and he is constantly willing to please. Oscar loves to fish- While water training, he always checks to be sure someone else is saving you and if so, he goes about wading and fishing. He does catch a fish now and then and when he does, he enjoys one big swallow and his fishing has paid off. Oscar is a champion in every since of the word. He also is an asset to the Hudson Ambassadors Program.
