Name the bear Baloo
A bear with more sense than some people!
I’m so sorry, but this story is just too fishy to be believed.
Wild bears may or may not be friendly to people, depending on the bear’s disposition. Once I was in a remote area near a ranch, and a bear cub emerged from the trees followed closely by the mother bear. To my horror, the baby bear ran straight to me. Unfortunately, I was unarmed. Skipping to the end of the story, I survived without a scratch, simply because the mama bear spared me, and apparently wasn’t hungry.
Chuckling....magical phenomena happen when you least expect it.....big grin.
Why do people go and believe this..?
Cuz more and more people are unfamliar with kids.
Ya know what? News flash:
Kids MAKE UP STORIES, totally unmaliciously.
They just DO that.
We’re going extinct while each woman in Mali has something like 9 kids.
We’d better stop being stupid and GET BUSY.
BJ and the Bear?
My Daughter had a pony named “My Pretty Pony” when she was around 4. She also had two imaginary friends named Keggy and Genny.
If there was a Newfoundland in the neighborhood, it would have protected the boy...and it could very well be mistaken for a bear.
Well, Davy Crockett kilt him a b’ar when he was only three. This kid is in North Carolina, not Tennessee, and didn’t have a kilt to give to the bear.
His story sounds similar to The Sarah Whitcher Story. Upon being found,she told everyone that Ollie, the family dog, came to sleep with her each night. The family was puzzled as Ollie was with them the whole time. When she ran up to Ollie he growled in reaction to the bear scent on her.
That story is assumed to have been true and God is sovereign over every creature in His creation; a similar instance of divine protection is possible. I’ve been close to a bear, the smell is powerful. I assume there would have been a lingering scent on him if it were true.
I believe the mother said his absolute favorite kids show is about a girl and her friend bear.
I assume his mind conjured up something comforting for him to help deal with the stress.
Maybe he’s lying.
Who the hell believes a three-year-old kid?
Baloo!
Look for the bare necessities , the simple bare necessities.

Perhaps a Sasquatch?
I wouldn’t rule out Sasquatch, especially a female one.
I figured the parents weren't keeping an eye on the 3 year old. So they let him be supervised by other "children"...not smart.
