A Friend Of Ours Over Here,

a few years ago showed us pictures of the parents of a puppy she had just bought,

 and both were very nice Boxers, unfortunately the puppy was not, as he grew it was plain to see he was a Pitbull cross with something else, but at least he was a dog! above is the dog that Su Yun, who lives near the city of Kunming, in Yunan Province, China wanted, one of these, a Tibetan Mastiff puppy, one of the most highly-regarded dog breeds in China, and didn’t much care that it was sold by a random man on the side of the road, the price was good and the puppy certainly looked like it was going to grow up to be an impressive specimen, doubts about the pedigree began to surface when she and her family were impressed by the puppy’s appetite from the very beginning, but the more he grew, the more he ate, and the more he ate, the less he looked like a dog, 

when her 'dog' above, started walking on his hind legs, Su couldn’t ignore the obvious anymore, the Tibetan Mastiff she had bought had grown into an Asian Black Bear, but she had become attached to him, so she kept him as a pet, despite the struggle to keep up with the animal’s seemingly insatiable appetite, the bear would apparently eat a large box of fruits and two buckets of noodles every day, Su Yun told the China News, she also said that said that she would could have coped with the high costs of raising a bear, 

but she recently learned that keeping large wild animals as domesticated pets was illegal, so she notified the Yiliang County Forest Public Security Bureau about her unusual pet, the bear was sedated and taken to the Yunnan Wildlife Rescue Center for observation, after an initial inspection, staff there concluded that the animal exhibited no scars or other signs of physical violence and was in good health, and presumably released into the wild, note to self, if it is too cheap to be true, it most probably is not true!
