Every pet owner will know that summer heat can be tough for pets, especially if they’re covered in thick, dense fur that makes it impossible for them to cool off.
Aside from shedding enough hair to cover another dog, these fluffy animals will try just about anything to cool down, which is why one Minnesota dad wasn’t shocked when he looked out the window to the back porch and found his giant black Newfoundland named Gipper in the kiddie pool trying to cool off in the water.
However, as dad David Zbaracki went about his business in the kitchen getting things ready before his kids woke up, he spotted his 125-pound dog in the kitchen. “I kind of did a double take,” Zbaracki said.
When he turned and looked back, he realized what he thought was Gipper, who is “big, black and furry just like a bear” was actually a black bear relaxing in the kiddie pool. “I guess he just wanted to cool off, so we left him alone,” Zbaracki wrote.
Since Zbaracki posted the picture of his incredible surprise, a local photographer reached out and explained the bear, who peacefully wandered off about 15 minutes later, was actually the same bear that has been visiting his Aunt and Uncle for the last 15 years who they named Bert.
