 family raises puppy for two years until that sees it and gets authorities involved when she saw her two-year-old dog do something out of character it had forced her to consider that something wasn't right now there was no one seeing it but by the time she'd faced her denial and accepted the truth it was much too late Su Yan knew that she was in big trouble and soon the police would be knocking on her door Su Yan thought she knew what she was getting herself into she'd done the research rather reviews and familiarized herself with hypoallergenic dog breeds she had decided on a Zolia Kuzitli a hairless dog from Mexico she thought they were ready for the commitment but as he began to outgrow his bed and collar and lead she began to worry then the unimaginable happened it all began innocently enough Su Yan lived in Kunming City China with her two young children and her husband the hard-working mother was feeling the pressure of juggling family life and a full-time job so she decided that it was high time for a holiday but what Su Yan didn't know was that fate had a surprise waiting for her with bags packed and ready for their eagerly awaited Asian trip the yuns embarked on a vacation that would change their lives a few days after their arrival the family was just beginning to get into holiday mode when they came across a litter of Zoloitz Kuzitli puppies for sale they had expected to find what they were looking for a year of all places the man who sold the yuns their new puppy had said that the pup would reach around 45 pounds the yuns were ecstatic with their new family member and named him little black they had no idea that this particular little pup would become a pretty big problem the family felt their bond with new puppy growing day by day and soon it was time to return home to Kunmen City with their new family member the yuns decided that little black would be an inside dog but it wasn't long before the family began to notice something odd about it the only foods he would eat were noodles and food but being new to dog ownership Su Yan didn't think much of it and chalked it down to him being fussy every day little black would devour an entire box of mixed fruits and two buckets of noodles and even more surprisingly he'd grown a full coat of hair Su Yan was beginning to feel like she'd been lied to by the pup seller but by then it didn't matter the family had grown very attached to little black but at two years old he weighed 150 pounds then one day Su Yan saw little black do something in the kitchen that raised all the red flags Su Yan walked in to see little black standing on his hind legs Su had seen other dogs stand up like a human while doing tricks or begging for food but this was different shortly after little black constantly walked around on his hind legs it was becoming a little frightening to be around him but Su Yan was still in denial but he was now definitely too big to live in the house so the family built a Michelle to outside you would think that little black would have taken to guarding the house against intruders and barking at anything that moved but he never did the only sound he ever made was a low growl he just didn't add up Su Yan curious as to what dog breed little black really was hosted a photograph of him and a dog owners forum but a vet saw it and called the authorities on her the vet told her that little black wasn't a dog at all he was actually a son bear then he explained to her that laws in China prohibit owning a bear of any kind and it's an offense punishable by jail as much as Su Yan had grown to love little black she knew she couldn't keep him in desperation she called the local zoo fortunately the zoo wouldn't even consider taking little black in without the proper paperwork then she heard a knock on the door the police had arrived with a wildlife expert Su Yan tried to explain that they bought the bear well on holiday and had no way of contacting the man who had sold him she described the predicament she'd gotten into and cooperated with the officers trying to give them all the information they needed to find little black a safe new home the more little black grew the more like a bear he looked Su Yan explained then she admitted that she was a little scared of bears they checked her over for any injuries or signs of malnourishment found little black to be well fed and healthy now they would have to tranquilize him and transport him to the local wildlife center but how had this happened fortunately for Su Yan she was released when police understood that this had been a simple case of mistaken identity Sun bears are hairless when their cubs so it wasn't hard for someone to mistake a hairless bear cub for a hairless puppy soon after the story made headlines people began to share their own stories about adopting domestic animals only to find out that sometime later that they were another animal entirely national geographic stated that this is not the only case and that happens a lot more often than you think Su Yan avoided jail time spite sun bears protecting species status and although having little black moved to a sanctuary nearby was the best decision for the family and for his own sake they still missed the path they knew and looked after for two years the good news is that the story has a happy ending little black will continue to live out his days on the reserve and is in good hands
