A farmer named Nikolay ended up with an unexpected new companion after stepping in to save a bear cub in serious trouble. What started as a rescue turned into something far more unusual, and now the little bear has become part of daily life.

The cub had been found malnourished, and Nikolay chose to care for it instead of walking away. That decision drew support from the village and turned a simple act of kindness into a story people could not stop talking about.

Now the bear is growing up with everyone watching, and the whole situation keeps getting more interesting. Read on.

This little bear is too cute.

This baby bear wandered into a village looking very sick and malnourished. Nikolay, a farmer in the village, came to the rescue and took the bear cub in.

He wanted to look after it and nurse it back to health after seeing the state of the baby bear cub.

This little bear is too cute.

I don't think I could pass up the opportunity to take this little bear home either.

When it came to figuring out what to do with this little bear cub, he considered every option he had that wouldn't endanger the animal. However, the problem was that the bear cub was very young, so it wouldn't be able to survive alone in the wild or be accepted into a zoo.

This led Nikolay to have quite an odd pet.

I don't think I could pass up the opportunity to take this little bear home either.

The bear looks super happy by the way it looks in the photos.

The bear was doing great as it found shelter, comfort, food, and water on Nikolay's farm.

The little claws are my favorite. This is so cute.

As we mentioned, Nikolay exhausted all his options when it came to figuring out what to do with the baby bear. At first, he called the relevant authorities to get advice on what to do in his situation.

Since this situation involved an animal not normally suggested as a pet, the authorities advised him to let the bear back into the wild or to put it to sleep.

The little claws are my favorite. This is so cute.

This story hits close to the man who raised an orphaned grizzly bear and formed an unbreakable bond with him.

He's a really good man for this.

Nikolay couldn't bring himself to choose either of those options because both would harm the baby cub.

He's a really good man for this.

I think that Nikolay is a great owner for the bear.

Nikolay and some others searched for the bear cub's mother, but they were unsuccessful.

It's awesome that the village was for it.

Eventually, the village issued a passport that allowed the bear to live there, and they also named it Vasilisa.

It's awesome that the village was for it.

I want to follow their journey.

Nikolay plans to build a huge enclosure for Vasilisa to grow up in so he can check on the cub regularly.

I want to follow their journey.

I mean just look how cute they look together.

This story is one that I didn't think I'd hear, but it's really cool how the village supported it and allowed the bear cub to live there. This is a very heartwarming story that I want to follow as the bear continues to grow up.

After Nikolay rescues a starving bear cub, see how a man’s “puppy” plan backfired at home.
