Reem Almasary, Springfield, college student. Pet: Beau, Great Pyrenees, 2 years old
“Beau is a two-year-old Great Pyrenees. We named him Beau because it means beautiful in French and we thought it suited him because he’s a really handsome dog! He sheds a lot but he’s very playful and gets attached easily to people. Not too long ago he even ran away from me for about five minutes because he didn’t get to say bye to one of his ‘BFFs,’ who’s my friend. He’s really friendly too and when he likes you he’ll jump up and try to give you a really big hug! Even though he’s a big dog, he’s still not as big as his mom and dad (his owners). He can also notice when someone’s injured — when my mom had a surgery he would help walk her to the bathroom and would sniff the spot she had her surgery and start whimpering because he was sad.” — Photo & story compiled by Basma Humadi
