“Bear” is the Sequoia Park mascot
This fluffy little guy loves kids and they love him! Shichons are very affectionate dogs that are playful, yet gentle, and naturally hypoallergenic. We utilize Bear in our learning environment to teach children how to care for the needs of a pet, how to properly handle an animal, and to assist in healing any past dog-related trauma.
