"Hope" is the thing with feathers— That perches in the soul— And sings the tune without the words— And never stops—at all— And sweetest—in the Gale—is heard— And sore must be the storm— That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm— I've heard it in the chillest land— And on the strangest Sea— Yet, never, in Extremity, It asked a crumb—of Me. Bless her, Lily's, Faith's, their fans and the team's hearts.

Lovely video. The face washing is priceless.

Thank you SO much for this video. It is a treasure to me. I see hope right in the middle of the 2 of them splashing away and teasing Faith and Lily. I can't thank you enough, Doc, Sue and all at the NABC for teaching me so much about black bears; a subject I never had any interest in before. It's simply amazing how very much I took to them and how very deeply embedded they became in my heart. I think the bear is my spirit animal and i couldn't have found a better family to teach me that!

Such a sweet video, missing Hope but we have Lily and Faith. Love you at NABC for all of your wonderful work.

This is a precious video, especially for bear lovers. I'm so thankful to all the NABC folks for teaching me so much. It's hard to realize that Hope will be missing from the den cam this winter.

Beautiful! Such a shame Hope no longer with them. Thank you NABC and Dr. Rogers. Free and wild forever!
