I was out on the lake when I saw the brown head of a dog in the middle of the lake. I couldn’t believe it; I could barely see the shore from where I was because it started raining. Who would have dumped their dog in the middle of the lake to drown?

I rowed my boat as fast as I could toward the dog, intent on bringing it into my boat before it could drown.

I got closer, and it turned it’s head and roared at me!

I promptly changed my mind and decided that the small brown bear was perfectly capable of swimming to shore on its own power.
