It was Valentine’s Day, and a group of hikers noticed a very sick bear cub lying in a ditch near Black Mountain in Harlan County, Kentucky. When a Kentucky Transport Department vehicle came by, they quickly alerted the driver to the bear’s predicament. He then notified the Appalachian Bear Rescue. It was obvious the bear was in a very bad way, with no fur on its face or paws, severely dehydrated, and covered in ticks, so the driver stayed with the bear to comfort it until rescuers arrived.
