A family lived in China and when they went on a road trip they saw some adorable little puppies the family fell in love so they decided to bring one home. The man who sold the puppies told them this was a Tibetan mastiff and would get very large but they would find out some odd things in the next two years including that he would get huge. They named the cute “dog” little black but he would not say little for long. At first, everything was fine but soon they realized he had an odd appetite for noodles and fruit.
They also soon realized he was able to stand on his hind legs the family realized their pet was quite strange but they didn’t think anything of it at the time. They knew their dog was going to get big but not this big the man they bought him from said he would grow to be 2 feet high but he didn’t stop at 2 feet he grew to 3 feet and weighed 250 pounds witch had the family on edge when their pet was this massive and he had some massive teeth but big dog big teeth right that’s what the mother of the family thought but she began to be scared of her pet.
They spent tons of money on him because when he ate fruit and noodles he ate buckets of them and wouldn’t eat any dog food whatsoever witch was also a concern to the family. Pretty soon he was forced to go outside because he was too big to fit in the house so they made him an enclosure in their backyard. When the officials found out about her strange dog they rushed to her house and she found out it was not a dog they
were lied to and told it was a large dog but it turned out to be a 250-pound bear.
The family was very startled to find out they had a pet Asiatic black bear and had kept it for 2 years the officials were surprised that this endangered bear looked very healthy. They loved their pet so you could imagine how hard this all was. The officials took the bear and brought it to a wildlife rescue center where they can care for the bear properly. Some people don’t get how they have mistaken a dog for a bear but the family said little black did start to look more like a bear as he grew older.
This is not the only time this has happened there are multiple stores where wild animals have been taken as pets to later discover had wild animals pets this has happened all over the world in multiple cases such as a family in texas brought home two kittens that turned out to be bobcats in another case a rescue brought in what they believed to be a box of puppies but were jackals but they had been too much socialized with humans so an employee got permission to keep the jackals there have also been incidents with wolves being mistaken for dogs there are a lot of animals that look very similar so if u ever encounter a new animal do your research before keeping it.
