Chaz,

I got this from the Internet:

Big Ole Newfie Dog

He's black and he's big
And he sure likes to give
His love to the kids of Newfoundland
He's gentle and kind
And he spends his time
With me and the kids of Newfoundland.

Fritz



I myself have never seen a Newfie dog. What do they look like?

-Chaz
