Svetlana and Yuriy Panteleenko have a cuddly bear as a pet. The bear named Stepan was found by hunters all alone and in terrible condition, so the couple decided to take him in and give him a home. Today, this family still enjoys spending time with this magnificent animal.

“When we adopted him, he was only three months old and had been found by hunters in the forest having lost his mother. He was in very bad condition”- said the couple.

As Svetlana says, Stepan is really gentle and attentive. He never harmed anyone, although most people have a wrong opinion about him.

“He loves people and is a sociable bear – despite what people might think, he is not aggressive at all. We have never been bitten by Stepan.”-said Mrs. Panteleenko.

He loves watching TV with his owners and even helps out around the house by doing tasks like watering plants. In fact, this lovely bear likes to eat sweet food. His favorite activity is football! He is amazing, yes?
