Hello everyone, Someone once said, “The cat and the dog
are not separate species.
There is no classification of the cat as a domesticated Tiger.
If you want to classify something as a domesticated animal, then it would be the dog.”
Basically, it’s no surprise that things don't always develop as we may have expected.
And Today's story is a perfect example of that.
It all started when a villager from China named Sue mu decided to buy a puppy that was
sold on the side of the road.
The thing was that their family dog had died shortly before that and Sue Mu felt it was
time for their family to get a new friend.
The man was on his way home from a trip and decided to stop at a small market near the
road, where he saw this puppy.
According to the seller, it was a Tibetan Mastiff.
The future defender of the house immediately liked Summo.
And since the man had long dreamed of having a large dog, he bought the puppy without much
doubt and took it home.
His family started raising the puppy as an ordinary domestic dog.
What is so unusual about his story?
You may ask?
It seems rather ordinary and so it would be, but the story wasn't public along two years
later.
Sumu, wasn't the least bit faced by the fact that his pet didn't bark or that it didn't
wag its tail like an ordinary puppy, nor did he care that its habits were very different
from ordinary dogs.
The man only began to realize that something was off when the animal continued to grow
well beyond its expected size.
One of its old habits was its diet, the pet liked eating fruits and berries, especially
watermelons, as well as broth and noodles.
Soon, the animal grew so huge that it was already heavier than its owner.
Moreover, as the animal grew bigger, it looked less and less like a Mastiff.
According to Sumu, he'd been suspecting that it wasn't really a dog for quite a while,
but he finally admitted to this mistake only two long years later.
At first it did look like a small Tibetan Mastiff, but as it grew bigger and bigger,
it began to resemble a black bear.
“I understood that bears should be feared, but this animal lived with me for two years
and ate from my hands and it mostly behaved like a domestic puppy.”
“It played with me, hugged me and licked me; we became very attached to.
Although I couldn't help, but realize that it wasn't an actual dog.”
Sue Mo's family treated the wild animal well, and it loved the family back, but eventually
it became obvious to everyone that it was a bear.
The family had to part with their pet, although it took the owners some time to accept this
fact.
Nevertheless, they understood that the bear's place was in the wild.
When we realized that it was a black bear, we were afraid to set it free because it wasn't
ready for it yet.
Thus, Sumu turned to the local zoo and offered to give the bear to them, at least they would
know how to care for this wild animal, but it wasn't that easy.
The zoo staff asked for the bear's birth certificate, which Sumu obviously didn't have after that
reading the information provided by the environmental service.
The owner of the bear learned that the domestication of wild animals was actually a strict violation
of the law, but there was no way out because the bear had to be saved.
Soon, the man had to contact the forest protection bureau so that all the necessary documents
would be drawn up for the animal.
After which it would be taken away, and when the specialist from the bureau came for the
animal, no one had any doubts left that it wasn't Mastiff.
The height of the bear at the Withers was about one meter and it weighed about 200 kilograms.
But at first glance it was a cute 200-kilogram animal who was sitting in a cage and couldn't
understand why everyone was running around it so much.
It just asked people for tasty treats and enjoyed every new day.
The fact that the bear was in good health, played in favour of Sumu.
The specialist didn't find any scars from wounds or any signs of diseases.
Otherwise Sumu would have to answer for that as well.
Eventually it was decided to send the bear to a wildlife protection centre where it would
be observed for some time before being released into the wild.
The family was devastated to let go of their friend, but they knew it was for the better.
After all a bear, isn't actually a pet.
It's dangerous for people to live with it and the bear would be better off in the wild.
The future fate of the predator is unknown, but let's hope that it's doing well.
Friends, What would you do if you were this man?
And how do you think it's even possible to mistake a bear for a dog?
