According to my completely legitimate research based on definitely real science, bears and dogs are pretty much the same animal. I came to this conclusion after years of internet research with these adorably chubby puppies, who look exactly like little teddy bears or even real-life bear cubs.
If you would like to contribute to my entirely scientific and not at all emotionally-driven research, please submit more photos of puppies that look just like cute little bear cubs. Please upvote the specimens most relevant to my research.
