Check out these un-BEAR-ably cute cubs which are recovering after being cruelly dumped at a roadside in South Carolina. Little Bennie and Jerry were rescued by a passing firefighter who originally thought they were puppies. Along with a female cub, they sat whining inside their cardboard box at Long Creek until the good Samaritan came to their aid. The female cub was sent to a facility in Charleston, and the two males were sent to Appalachian Bear Rescue in Tennessee where staff are hand feeding them before releasing them into the wild.

I love this video on Facebook of Molly the bear enjoying her carrots.
