January 2014 Pet of the Month – “DYLAN” Bergman

Calusa Veterinary Center would like to introduce our January 2014 “Pet of the Month”.

He is “DYLAN” Bergman.

Dylan is our wonderful, incredibly sweet and much loved 8 1/2 year old Bernese Mountain Dog.  Dylan was born on a farm in (coincidentally) Bernville, Pennsylvania, which (like Dylan’s breed) is named after Bern, Switzerland, where Bernese Mountain Dogs were used to pull carts to market, drive dairy cattle, watch the farm and act as companions to farmers.  He weighed 15 pounds when we got him at 8 weeks old and then gained almost a pound a day until he reached his current weight of about 95 pounds.  Dylan was about 6 months old when our son was born and we watched him and Dylan grow up together and become the best of friends. 

Congratulations to “DYLAN” Bergman and family for being voted as Calusa’s January 2014 Pet of the Month!
