After Saving Her Drowning Cub, This Mama Bear Hugged This Man

One of the fishermen and the cub that had locked his teeth onto the boat looked directly at each other – almost like they were looking into each others’ souls. As their two pairs of eyes locked, they understood that they could trust each other. It was almost as if the little cub was pleading, “Please… Please help us, we just want to survive this.”
