In order to love and be loved, almost everyone keeps dogs in their homes. However, who would bring a bear into their house? Meet the Panteleenkos, a Russian couple. Because of their enormous hearts, Svetlana and Yuriy discovered the bear when it was a cub, 23 years ago, in a condition that made it impossible for the hunters to find it.

The cub was about three months old when it was placed in the Panteleenkos' care. The cub was rescued, raised, and given a name by the pair. The baby was given the name Stephan! After twenty-three years, the bear has matured into a massive adult. However, it continues to reside and socialize with Svetlana and Yuriy. Take a look at these fantastic photos of Stephan as a cute pet with two of his favorite people, and then leave a comment below with your opinions!

At this point, Stephan has matured into a full-grown, fluffy bear that weighs over 300 pounds and is around 7 feet tall. For the Panteleenkos, however, it remains the defenseless infant they discovered in the forest twenty-three years ago.

Stephan enjoys eating a lot of fish, eggs, and milk—up to 25 kg of food a day at times. In addition, he enjoys playing with and posing for photos with his adoptive parents! He has never acted hostilely. He enjoys watching TV with his adopted parents and cuddling up to them.
