Some dog lovers go out of their way to buy dogs that look like bears, but some purchase a bear mistakenly, for a dog.
While on holiday, Su Yun bought what she thought was a Tibetan Mastiff dog and took it home.
However, she was quite surprised by the amount of food the dog could eat! “A box of fruits and two buckets of noodles every day.” She said to the Chinese media.

This pup did nothing wrong! It just turned out, it was not a dog after all, but a humongous, 250lb bear, which explains the astonishing appetite! It is difficult for many to believe that a family can live with an animal they think is a dog, even though it doesn’t behave or eat like one, for a full two years!

One YouTube viewer commented, “Just how is this even possible. Took them a whole 2 years to realise it doesn’t go “woof”? This is too funny even to get mad at. Thanks for sharing National Geographic.

The family saw their mistake when the ‘dog’ kept on growing and started displaying a talent for walking on two legs. Ms Yun who lives in a village close to the City of Kunming in Yunnan Province, said, “The more her pet grew, the more like a bear he looked,” admitting, “She is a little scared of bears.”

When the family realised they needed help, they contacted the Yunnan Wildlife Rescue Centre who have taken the animal for better and safer care. The Authorities took some pictures of the bear displaying its skills, standing up to 1 metre tall.

The Staff felt intimidated by the size of the animal and couldn’t believe it lived with the family as a pet, that long. They sedated it first before taking it away. The creature was identified as the Asiatic Black Bear. It is worth thousands of pounds if sold in the black market.

Su Yun and her family may have felt a bit embarrassed by the whole situation, but, the truth is, they are not the only ones. A couple of months back, the local media reported, a man from the same province found what he thought was a lost dog wandering about in the bush.

He took it home not knowing he was raising a bear. He caged it when he realised his error later.
