Picture B: Can you name the animal?
Hopefully, if you have a set of functioning eye balls and a rudimentary knowledge of the animal kingdom your answer to questions 1 and 2 would have been bear and dog respectively. See, it’s not that tough really is it?
Well try telling that to Wang Kaiyu.
Mr Kaiyu bought two puppies while on a trip to Vietnam back in 2013. At least, he thought they were puppies; it turned out that his new pets, which were described to him as “very lively, not picky about food and friendly with human beings”, were in fact baby black bears. Awww.
The penny finally dropped TWO YEARS LATER! when the man, who works as a banana farmer in China – at least he thinks they are bananas, perhaps they are watermelons – saw a wildlife protection poster warning about black bears on the loose, which looked suspiciously like his own little pooches.
Needless to say, he could bear-ly believe what had happened. Mr Kaiyu had no choice but to contact the local public security bureau and give up his beloved dogs/bears, which were promptly sent to a rescue centre.
The pair of pets, one female and one male, reportedly weight 50 kilograms each and according to China.org they are both in good health… probably all that fetch they were playing.
Now check out this waving dog…
