Personal Narrative: Newfoundland

Improved Essays
One unique, true thing about me is that I own 5 Newfoundlands. I’ve owned a total of 5 in my lifetime. A lot can be learned from owning Newfoundlands. One of them we own now, Hoosier, is the size of a horse! On 2 legs, he would be about 6 feet tall. He’s a Landseer, meaning he’s black and white. We have bred three litters with our dog Saydee. The puppies are not that commonly bred around here, so people from Iowa, Indiana, and even a family from California have come to buy them! They were bred in Newfoundland, Canada to hunt bears. Yes, bears. They’re very strong dogs, but they’re very kind. Gentle giants, if you will. I’ve had some great memories with our Newfoundlands. Since we live right next to the Mackinaw River and a stream that comes

    The New York Islanders returned home early Friday morning from a physical - and some would say lucky - 4-3 overtime win in Winnipeg just hours earlier. They had just finished a brutal road trip through three time zones across Canada and despite a 5-1 record to that point on the trip, had clearly not played their best.
