Many animal lovers would be torn to see a kitten or puppy abandoned on the side of the road, wishing to take care of it themselves. One man had the same feeling, but was met with an unexpected result.

A man found what he thought was a little black puppy on the side of the road in 2017, only to take it home and care for it, and discover two years later that it was in fact a black bear, Chinese online news outlet KNews reported on June 23.
