The following tells the whole story. There is a book coming out shortly to be posted on this website called “Welcome to Bearadise” which has this dedication in it. It will be about the wild bears not the ones around humans all the time as they are quite different. The photos show a completely different side of these amazing creatures. They are great parents and funny. The book will have tourist information and pictures of Great Smokey Mountains of eastern Tennessee. Some of the proceeds will be going to the bear rescue so maybe bears like Charlie can be saved instead of being killed. He had his pelvis broken and I had my heart broken by this wonderful little bear. He was special and he was taken way too early.
