A Russian pilot who rescued a bear cub abandoned on an airfield has developed a special relationship with him— and their unique bond has touched the hearts of many.

According to a report by the Daily Mail, Russian pilots found a cub wandering near the Orlovka air base in the Tver region of Russia in 2016. The then-cat-sized bear was named Mansur, the word for “Michael” in the Altai language.
