Animals showing emotion can be unexpected. This crying bear mom led the man to her dying cub, but what the bear did later was really shocking. Kyle loved nature.
As a kid, he would love hiking and watching the animals in the zoo close to his home. He even studied to become a vet. Now he could help animals all the time.
It was pretty amazing being able to treat pets and even some larger animals. He even got to go and work with some of the big animals in the zoo that he used to visit as a child. It was a full circle moment.
But working as a vet could also be really difficult. He would get attached to animals that came to him. He saw many of them since they were young, but he couldn’t always help all of the animals.
There were times when he tried his very best and then he still lost a patient. He knew that he should probably learn to keep his emotional distance from the animals in his care, but he just couldn’t do it. Each time his heart would break if he had a terrible outcome.
But then he would see the next patient and once again he started to care about them just as he has always done for all the animals in his care. Still, after a few years of working as a vet, he realized that he needed somewhere he could go and just rest and recuperate. He enjoyed going out in the city and having fun with his friends, but it wasn’t the same as really resting and recharging when he had a tough time.
For that, he needed to get back to the way that he had relaxed as a kid by getting out in nature. There were a few hikes that he could take close to the city, but none were long enough to really relax. His practice was doing well and he decided that he would reward himself with a tiny cabin in the woods It didn’t have a lot of land connected to it, but it bordered a national park and that meant that there was plenty of land for him to go for long hikes. And because it was a national park, no one was ever going to build on the land. He would always have his little sanctuary to get out.
He could just sit on his porch and look at the birds and the eagles in the sky or even watch some deer and other animals passing by his home. It was just what he needed. You couldn’t hear any cars or other city noises.
All he heard were animals and the sounds of nature. He had a particularly long week when he decided to head to the woods. He had just put his weekend bag down in the cabin, pulled off his work gear and got on hiking boots.
Then he grabbed an apple and headed for a walk. As he chewed, he breathed in the fresh air and listened to the sounds of the river in the distance. His heart felt like it had been beating too fast for days, but now it all slowed down and he could start to think clearly again.
He had walked for a while when he spotted a bear in his path. It was some way away and he knew that he needed to keep his distance, but the bear had other ideas. She came towards him.
Walking slowly in reverse as to keep an eye on her, Kyle went back in the direction that he came. He knew better than to try and run, but still the bear just kept coming. Then another movement caught Kyle’s eye.
Next to the bear, a cub came out of the woods. This made the situation a whole lot more dangerous. A mommy bear can be a lot more aggressive than a single bear Definitely no knife to cut the bear cub loose, and there was no time to run back home and get one. By the time he got back, it would be too late to save the little bear. He had to make another plan.
Running down the riverbank, he checked out all of the rocks and found one with a sharp and jagged edge. Then, he quickly swam to where the little bear was in the water. He cut through the ropes of the fishing nets.
It took a while and left his hands bleeding and sore, but he couldn’t stop. Finally, there was enough space to get the cub out of the tangled mess. Kyle pulled him out and swam him to the riverbank, the anxious mother close behind.
The baby wasn’t moving, but Kyle was determined. He started doing compressions, and the baby started to breathe. Exhausted, Kyle sat to one side.
The little bear got up on shaky legs and ran to his mother and sibling. The mom hugged him close, and after a while, when she had made sure that he was completely fine, she let him play with his sibling. Then, the little family went back into the forest.
When Kyle finally got his strength back, he started walking home. He couldn’t believe what had just happened. He would probably never see the family again, but he felt really great about it, and he had a great story to tell all his friends.
He got home and took a warm shower. The cub might have been little, but he was still really heavy. Kyle’s muscles were on fire, but now he could rest up.
The next morning, he was sitting out on his porch with a cup of coffee. After his adventurous hike of the previous day, he was quite content to just sit there and relax, but he couldn’t believe what happened next. He was shocked when the bear and her cubs came into view.
The family had come to visit him. For a long time after that, the mother bear, and later the cub that he had saved, would come to visit every time he was at his little cabin in the woods. Thank you for watching! Join us again for even more inspiring stories!
