A DOG the size of a small polar bear is hoping for a new owner.
Brody, a six-year-old Pyrenean mountain dog, is 6ft tall on his hind legs — and munches through a kilogram of dog biscuits every day.
Rehoming staff say he loves a head scratch and enjoys sitting on people, despite weighing 66kg.
Brody, also described as “calm, relaxed and friendly”, has had a full de-matting so he can show off his “glorious mountain fluff.”
His last owners handed him in as they were unable to care for him.
Lauren Pickthall, 32, from Animal Concern Cumbria, said: “Stay tuned for updates as he prepares for homing . . . preferably with someone who doesn’t mind being occasionally sat on by a small polar bear.”
She added: “Brody is so calm, relaxed, friendly, gentle.
“He is a senior boy now so he only requires a couple of 30-minute walks a dog.
“He loves a tennis ball and being in the company of other people.
“At the moment he is currently being tested around other dogs, people, children, and different environments so we can safely allow him to be adopted by the best new owner when the time comes.”
He will be available for adoption in a couple of weeks.
The new owner should have big dog breed experience, a large outdoor area for him — and a sofa big enough for him to sit on.
