Charlie's Friends

Charlie is a 5 year old Newfoundland.  Charlie weighs 172 pounds and stands 34" high at the hips. He like to play in the water and meet people, usually in that order. (Read more Charlie facts).

Charlie gives "kisses", especially to little children, can shake hands and do other demeaning tricks that his "pets" request of him. He is very patient and loving.

Charlie tore both ACl's (anterior cruciate ligaments) when he was one year old, the second two months after the first, and underwent extensive surgery. He has an unusual walk but he can run, play, and have fun with his friends. (See how you can become one of Charlie's friends).

Charlie lives in Jacksonville, Oregon, where he takes his "pets", Bruce and Kathy, on twice a day walks.  Invariably Charlie manages to direct the walk to historic downtown Jacksonville to meet his friends.
