Why did the vet call the police?

Sue Yun is from China and lives in Yunnan. Her and her family have been debating getting a dog for quite a while. One day they went to the pet store to find one. One cute and fluffy puppy caught her eye and Sue knew right away: this was the one she wanted.

 

New member of the family

It was love at first sight when Sue and her family saw the puppy. They didn’t have to think long about it at all: this puppy was going home with them. Before heading home, the family asked the store manager what kind of dog it was. He confidently replied that it was a Tibetan Mastiff. Sue was over the moon, those turn into big, beautiful, fluffy dogs. She called him Little Cute Blackie.

Odd behavior

Once they got home, Sue realized that the puppy’s behavior was very unique, different from other dogs. The dog had a huge appetite. The puppy ate two buckets of pasta and a cardboard box full of fruit every day. The cute puppy also barked in a weird way. It didn’t sound like a normal “woof,” but more of a scream. The store manager had already told them that Tibetan Mastiffs were a special breed, so Sue didn’t think much of it. Little Cute Blackie was clearly enjoying himself with Sue and her family who lovingly took care of him.

Big dog with sharp teeth

One day the dog started acting really weird. The whole family was shocked. Why is that? Little Cute Blackie was standing on two legs! And he wasn’t exactly “Little” anymore. When he turned two years old, he was already a meter long and weighed more than 110 kilos. The Tibetan Mastiff is a large breed of dog, but this was an extreme case. The family also realized that Little Cute Blackie had enormous teeth. Most notably, the canines didn’t look anything like dog teeth. The sharp teeth looked more like the jaws of an angry animal than canines. The family became quite afraid of the dog. However friendly and cute he may have been, they were worried that he could attack and bite someone. If Cute Little Blackie were to bite someone it would leave a big wound due to the large, sharp teeth.

To the vet

Sue and her family decided to have Little Cute Blackie checked out at the vet. The vet immediately called the police and shared some sad news with the family: this was the last time they’d be seeing their beloved pet. The vet started asking the family numerous questions about Little Cute Blackie like where he came from, what his diet was, how big he was at first, his behavior, etc. Not too long after, the police came to take him away. So, what was the problem? Little Cute Blackie wasn’t a dog. Nope, he was an Asian black bear.

Black bear

The Asian black bear is an endangered species that is nearly extinct. Because the bears’ bile can be used for medicinal purposes, they are often captured and killed by humans. In China there’s a law that says that the police must protect these endangered species. This was sad news for Sue’s family who now had to say goodbye to their furry friend. They were however happy to find out why Little Cute Blackie was such a weird dog and that he was going somewhere safe.
