Dog Recognition,

for beginners,

 not a dog,

definitely not a dog! photograph, Facebook/Choong Jee Yann, but Zarith Sofia, the owner of the condominium unit at the Sentrio Suites Condominium in, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, thought it was!, the 27 -year-old woman who was caught raising a six-month-old endangered sun bear in her Kuala Lumpur condominium unit explained that she had found it on the side of the road and took it in thinking it was a dog, but neighbors were shocked to hear the roars of what sounded like a wild beast coming from the building’s upper floors,

“One of my neighbours called the authorities. They thought it was a prank but they arrived quickly,” one resident wrote in a Facebook post, Zarith, the owner of the condominium unit, told authorities, that as soon she realized it was actually a bear she decided to turn it over to a zoo, but not before nursing it back to health, the woman’s explanation didn’t convince authorities, nor her neighbors, police confirmed that Zarith Sofia, a local singer who participated in a Malaysian reality show, was arrested for violating the 2010 Wildlife Act, which lists sun bears as a protected species, and makes it a criminal offense for people to raise them, note to self, if it looks like a bear, roars like a bear, smells like a bear, walks like a bear and eats like a bear, it most probably is not a dog!
