The vet’s explanation stunned them. These weren’t just odd-looking animals. They were a rare mix of wild dog and bear, something hardly ever seen. He admitted he had no idea how they ended up in that well or why the bear had gone to such lengths.

Hana’s thoughts spun, trying to make sense of it all. The science was strange, the situation stranger, but the emotion behind it was simple. Love had driven that bear, and it had saved lives.
