Watch: You Won’t Believe This Adorable Bear Cub Was Mistaken For A Dog

You know how it is: Find an adorable stray puppy, take it in, find out it’s a bear.

This is what happened to a chap in China, who adopted a ‘puppy’ he’d found roaming the streets, only to be told it was an endangered bear cub.

The big-hearted farmer found his new furry friend several weeks ago and, assuming it was a Kunming wolfdog, took it in.

Alarm bells began to sound when the man realised his new pet had no tail - as well as dextrous paws and an unfamiliar growl.

He was a useful and kindly idiot, though--according to the report, the bear might have been taken by unscrupulous people otherwise, or eaten, when it was separated from its mother somehow.
