For dear old Freako, this relates to a Chinese gentleman who raised two "puppies" he'd bought from "a tradesman" for two years, only to find that they were a bit big, eat all his chickens & turned out to be black bears.

An easy mistake to make, plainly.

A Chinese man bought what he thought was a pair of adorable puppies and lovingly raised them for two years - before realising they were actually dangerous black bears.

Wang Kaiyu brought the animals back to his Maguan County, Yunnan Province, banana farm after being offered them by a tradesman on the Vietnamese border.

He claims he remained unaware of their true identities - even as they grew abnormally large and feasted on his farmland’s domestic fowl.
