A bear in the family

Article Abstract:

A couple who live in rural Montana adopted a baby black bear whose claws had been removed and could not be returned to the wild or to a zoo. Now, age 13 and 600 pounds, Buffy the bear is treated like a member of the family and loves to play, but can be scary, since he is after all a wild animal.
