George Bernard Vieto always gives us a really good animal rescue story. Now I've got a bear rescue story to tell!! And I'm not making this up!! A bear was on the loose right where I live!! Right up the street!! Here in Washington, DC!! He went to some back yards and decided on a tree to climb!! He tried to come down but the sirens scared him and he climbed back up and watched the crowd. Many were in shock to see the bear in the city. Soon the bear got tired of that tree and climbed down not scared of the sirens or people. He walked up the street and people were screaming, there's a bear out here!!!! The bear found another tree in another back yard. Eventually the animal rescue unit shot him with a tranquilizer that knocked him out. They released him into a large wooded area in Maryland. This was the event of the year!! We see lots of deer, but a bear. Not too often. I'm now kind of paranoid walking home. I keep looking around carefully to see if anything's out there. Or if I should play Goldie locks if a bear somehow enters our house. I just had to share this one with you George!! That's a picture of the real bear in the picture!!!

The Bear must have wanderer too far out of its habitat.
Or may be its habitat had been encroached upon a bit too much?
I think the Bear must have been in a terrible state of mind.

I can imagine how scary it can . It's enjoyable watching them on television not just bumping into one without our knowledge. Glad it was rescued finally.

I can't even imagine if a bear was in our neighborhood. I'm glad he was OK, and was moved to a better area.
