I guess the moral of this story is never bring an Alpaca to a Bear fight. :(

Actually the bear broke in, the zoo needs to better protect their Alpaca. Zoos, today the animals are breaking in. Sometimes, Gaza and Paris in the Franco Prussian war, the humans eat them. Nazi officers went "hunting" with the animals in the Warsaw zoo.

Glad your dogs did well and are healthy, with storied to tell.

There's a book that might interest you, titled, 'The Zookeeper's Wife.'

"A true story in which the keepers of the Warsaw Zoo saved hundreds of people from Nazi hands.

After their zoo was bombed, Polish zookeepers Jan and Antonina Zabinski managed to save over three hundred people from the Nazis by hiding refugees in the empty animal cages. With animal names for these 'guests,' and human names for the animals, it's no wonder that the zoo's code name became 'The House Under a Crazy Star.'

Best-selling naturalist and acclaimed storyteller Diane Ackerman combines extensive research and an exuberant writing style to re-create this fascinating, true-life story―sharing Antonina's life as, 'the zookeeper's wife,' while examining the disturbing obsessions at the core of Nazism."

I mean, not a PLEASANT subject, Man's Inhumanity To Man, but History worth preserving & sharing.

And, you know, Zoo-related. In remembrance of, now, Cesare and of course, Harambe. ;)
