The Legacy of Bart the Bear

Bart the Bear™ was born in a zoo in 1977 and adopted by Doug and Lynne Seus and trained to be in films. The Seuses grand adventures with Bart took them from the Austrian Alps to the bejeweled backstage of the Academy Awards. Bart appeared in hundreds of films, including "The Bear", "The Great Outdoors", "Legends of the Fall", "Clan of the Cave Bear", and "The Edge", among others. He passed away in 2000. This video is a tribute to Bart, the Seuses, and the conservation nonprofit they created to protect habitat for wild grizzlies, The Vital Ground Foundation. Since its founding in 1990, Vital Ground has helped to protect and enhance over 416,000 acres of habitat in Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Alaska, and British Columbia. For more information or to make a donation to Vital Ground, visit: www.vitalground.org.

Vital Ground extends its sincere thanks to Manitou Motion Picture Company for the use of this short documentary. Visit them at: www.manitoupix.com.

Such a great story and ministry! What a blessing to have such a close connection with such an animal! It is so emotional when Doug is talking about Barts passing. The full documentary is awesome!!

....I've never cried so hard in my life, I've had friends that were animals, A dog named Molly..and tabby cat named Angel.. and Rouger.. Another dog, a chocolate lab at that.. and When knew he was gonna die.. He did the same thing Bart did....It was like he was giving me his essence.. his entire soul.. It's hard living without a good friend. more than a friend. My Brother.

@sparklerbombg So you won't kill bears, but you'll kill humans.
