Deanna, Pat, Samantha, and Thomas of Lake Forest knew they wanted a puppy and knew that puppy was Bubba! Bubba thought they were pretty neat, too, and lots of fun. He will enjoy boating with the family, even if he can't jump into the lake. When he's old enough, Bubba and Pat will be running partners and Bubba will be a sounding board for Pat's difficult business decisions. As an added bonus, the golden next door became a playmate the very first day.
