FULL TITLE: He's a big teddy bear! The incredible moment animal sanctuary owner cuddles up to 1,400-pound, 10-foot tall beast who just needed cheering up
A tender moment captured on video between a 1,400-pound bear and his caretaker caught the internet's attention over the last week.
Jim Kowalczik, who owns the Orphaned Wildlife Center in Otisville, New York, is seen in the clip sweetly cuddling and petting Jimbo, the Kodiak bear.
'I’m sure you all do the same for your bears when they have had a hard day,' the caption reads.
The video, titled 'When your bear had a hard day and needs some extra love,' was posted on February 5 and has been viewed more than 1.2 million times as of Thursday afternoon.

This reminded me that Amazon Prime has A Bear Named Winnie which is a good family movie-
“Based on the true story of a Canadian soldier, enroute to World War I from Winnipeg, who adopts an orphaned bear cub at White River Ontario. It is namned Winnie (for Winnipeg) and eventually ends up at the London Zoo where it became the inspiration for A.A.Milne’s Winnie The Pooh stories.”
When, not if.
