When a tired polar bear kept chasing a man in a boat, he didn’t know what to make of it. But once he discovered why, he immediately burst into tears.
Out on a routine trip with tourist guide Roland Warrior was in the middle of imparting knowledge of the local traditions when he spotted something in the water. He was sitting at the back of his boat, turning the motor to power the small wooden vessel through the ocean near Kotzebue, Alaska, heading out towards the Beaufort Sea.
As he looked back to check on the engine, which was making a sputtering sound, he was surprised by a large white object floating less than 100 feet from the boat. Roland squinted his eyes to get a better look. As an Iñupiat guide, he was very familiar with the local wildlife, and he knew in an instant that this was a polar bear. What he didn’t understand was what it was doing. It didn’t seem to be moving very quickly, if at all, and they were already some distance from any land.
Roland decided to reduce the speed of the boat to a slow drift. He apologized to the tourists but explained that polar bears were protected in this area. Besides, this would give these lucky visitors a rare up-close experience with a polar bear. However, two of the tourists objected. They knew how dangerous these bears could be and preferred to be taken straight to their destination. There was no convincing them, even when Roland told them how often he encountered polar bears. They were unconvinced, so reluctantly, Roland agreed. As a guide, he had to respect their wishes.
Starting up the motor again, he prayed that if the bear was in trouble, it would still be there once he returned. But he didn’t need to worry; he soon realized that the bear was following him, slowly treading through the water. There was no denying it – the white predator was being drawn to Roland’s boat.
And as he dropped off the tourists on a nearby island, the bear had already halved the distance between them. As he circled around to meet the animal, he radioed a nearby lookout for assistance. He knew that if there were a problem, it wouldn’t be a one-man job. Luckily, there was a research team nearby, but they would have to hurry.
Roland told them he could see the bear struggling to swim, and as he approached, the shocking realization hit him – this bear was tangled in a fishing net. As it twisted and turned, it failed to free itself and was using up precious energy doing so. The tour guide didn’t know it yet, but the poor animal had already been in the water for half a day and didn’t have much longer.
Upon seeing the distressed animal, Roland began to cry. Like the rest of his community, he was deeply committed to protecting the local wildlife. They could see the environment rapidly changing around them, and the animals were the first to feel the effects. Roland felt in his heart that he needed to help this bear.
Though it wasn’t uncommon to see polar bears alone while they hunted, there was something heartbreaking about spotting one so far from the shore, struggling to free itself from a man-made trap. Even restrained by the bonded ropes, Roland reminded himself that this was still an animal that could attack at any moment. He needed to be careful.
Taking a thick rope from the boat, he fashioned it into a noose large enough for the bear. If he made it loose enough, it could be used to keep it afloat while he waited for help. Swinging the rope like a lasso, Roland tossed it into the water, hitting the target on his first try.
But as soon as he secured the bear’s body, he realized that a much greater challenge lay ahead of him. Even with the buoyancy of the water, the bear’s weight was immense. This was a 900-pound beast, roughly the same as a grand piano, and within a few minutes, Roland was struggling. He wasn’t helped by the bear, which was twitching and wriggling its body, now trying to free itself from two pieces of rope. Roland could feel his forearm and bicep tingling with pain. His only hope was that the research team would arrive soon to assist him.
To Roland’s surprise, it was a group of fellow Iñupiat fishermen who appeared first, having spotted him from a distance. With three people now, they each took a turn holding the rope, keeping the bear above the water and trying to slowly guide it towards the shore. But it was fighting hard against them, stubbornly refusing to be led anywhere. Even between the group of fishermen, it was proving impossible to wrangle this huge beast. Each time they made some progress, the bear would reverse it all in seconds, splashing its body around and dragging their boats at will. It was simply too strong.
Thankfully, the research team arrived before it was too late and shocked the fishermen by drawing weapons immediately. With barely a word, they shot the bear with a strong tranquilizer. They explained it would take some time to work, but the sedative would make the task easier. As time went on, sure enough, the bear’s movement slowed, its muscles relaxed, and it became much easier to pull.
Roland was still feeling emotional but wiped away his tears with his shirt sleeve, conscious that there was a job to be done. Together with the scientists, the villagers were able to gently shepherd the polar bear to the safety of the shore, pulling it onto its back with a huge group effort. It took a few minutes to remove the net, which had been tangled through each of the bear’s limbs. The more it resisted, but then followed a tense moment.
Iñupiat members thought the task was finished, but the scientists looked to be preparing for something else entirely. His community was yet to fully trust the team. Although they had been poking and prodding around for years now, the Iñupiaq people were yet to see them complete any real rescue efforts. In fact, this is why Roland had been hesitant to call for the assistance of the scientists earlier.
The Iñupiat people had been guardians of the local polar bear population for centuries. Local customs and traditions tied them to the environment, dictating that they must be protected. When a group of scientists showed up one day from a university in California, many were suspicious. According to this team, they were writing research papers and working with a conservation group. But the Iñupiaq had good reason for trepidation. Stories had circulated between many different indigenous communities about scientists and officials offering similar services only to prepare the area for deep-sea mining and destroy the environment.
Roland’s fellow tribesmen were not going to fall into the same trap. The tourists they could manage, as they were there to see the sights and were a handy source of income for the area. But with science, it was difficult to know the intentions behind it.
And once the polar bear was laid out on the shore, Roland and the group of fishermen began to doubt the scientists’ intentions. When they opened up their medical bag, an array of syringes, knives, and scalpels was revealed. “Don’t hurt the Nanook!” one of the fishermen yelled at the scientists, using the indigenous word for the polar bear. “It is our job to protect them.”
The researchers tried to calm down the fishermen, who were growing increasingly restless. Years of distrust and suspicion were boiling to the surface. Roland put himself in between the two groups, acting as a peacemaker. He told his fellow Iñupiat that there was no reason to distress them yet and to let them carry on with what they were doing. One of the scientists thanked him, and the team got to work.
With deft hands, they checked all sides of the bear’s body. They were looking for injuries, they said, before checking the heart rate, pupils, and claws of the animal. Finally, they softly glued a tiny piece of plastic above its shoulder, explaining that they would now be able to track and monitor it, helping them locate it in case of an emergency. Then the group slowly moved further inland to let the polar bear recover on its own. Soon, it was rolling around, stumbling to its feet, and shaking its fur as though it had just had a bad dream. Before plunging into the water and swimming away, the group rejoiced.
While Roland and his tribesmen realized that the scientific team was there for support, ever since the community has collaborated extensively, sharing vital information about the environment that is helping to safeguard the entire area. The Iñupiaq people shared their vast knowledge of the area and how they managed the wildlife population, and the scientists made use of it for noble purposes.
The couple saw that their dog kept barking at the woman in front of them, which made them very puzzled. In order to find out the truth of the matter, they installed surveillance at home, but they did not expect that they saw a picture that made them extremely angry.
In the end, what happened? Why do dogs keep barking at women?
Dogs’ love for their owners is always sincere and warm. Although they don’t express emotions in complex ways like humans, they will still bravely show their loyalty and bravery when their owners face danger, just like this brave dog below.
This young couple has just moved to a small town in Charleston. The man’s wife has just given birth to a healthy and lovely boy. He and his wife needed a large, quiet, and comfortable home to welcome their newest addition to the family. They are very excited, but since they have just moved here, the couple have a lot to do, so they need to hire a nanny to take care of their young son.
They conducted a very rigorous social survey on the selected nannies, including their work experience and their backgrounds, and also asked about the evaluation of previous employers. According to the final results, they found a very suitable one. And the lady with a very good evaluation, this twenty-one-year-old lady, she is young and energetic and she used to work as a nanny.
After hiring this young nanny, the man and his wife watched her get along with their children very happily. She would patiently tidy up the toys for the baby, teach him how to play little by little, and protect the baby in her arms, preventing your baby from touching anything that could hurt him. Everything went well, and the couple got along very well with the nanny. They thought the nanny was very gentle and well-educated.
But things slowly began to change, and after the nanny had been working for the family for about a few months, it seemed the family’s loyal family dog wanted to remind his owner of something. This dog is a black-backed dog mixed with a German Shepherd. His personality is very docile and friendly. Since the baby was born, he has served as the baby’s little bodyguard. The baby likes to be close to it very much.
Recently, however, the man and wife have noticed a very drastic change in their dog’s personality. The dog who used to rest in the yard before began to stand frequently at the door, staring at the surrounding environment vigilantly, and whenever the nanny at home approached the baby, the dog put on a defensive posture and stood in front of the baby and then became angry, growling at the nanny and the hair on its neck stands on end.
The husband and wife were very surprised why the dog suddenly hated the nanny so much. Seeing the dog yelling at the nanny frantically, they understood that something was wrong. They tried to stop the angry dog, but the dog remained aggressive until the man had to restrain the dog, which stopped the dog’s impulsive behavior.
The man was very disturbed. After the nanny left, the dog lay down under the table in frustration. It didn’t understand why the owner wanted to stop it, but then the owner called it out. They looked at the aggrieved dog and made a very correct decision.
The couple decided to put a mobile phone under the sofa for recording and then bought monitoring equipment and installed it in a hidden place. They needed to record footage and audio when they were not at home to find out why the dog hates the sitter so much.
However, when the wife turned on the monitoring and recording equipment, she was shocked and angry by the images and audio recorded. After they left home, the baby cried for seven and a half hours. At first, the nanny sat in the living room, and the baby seemed to be having a nightmare. He opened his eyes suddenly and didn’t find anyone he was familiar with, so he started crying. He was so pitiful and helpless, but the crying made the nanny on the side go crazy. She actually used words to hurt such a small baby, and the words she said were very ugly.
At this time, the dog who heard the movement rushed over. It saw the nanny who was trying to hurt the baby and rushed forward angrily, protected the baby behind him, and then bared his teeth to scare the nanny in front of him. Seeing that the dog was so fierce, the nanny was afraid that the dog would really charge up, so she could only leave reluctantly.
Afterward, the baby seemed to be tired, stopped crying, and fell asleep obediently, lying in the crib. The dog lay beside the baby’s bed and acted as the baby’s bodyguard. Unexpectedly, the cruel nanny left the baby alone hours in the crib. After some time, the sound from the recording terrified the wife and husband. The baby woke up and found that there was no one around him and started crying in fear.
The helpless crying of the baby made the couple very sad. Then they saw the nanny walking towards the baby with heavy steps, and the dog bravely approached the nanny. He ran over, yelling as he ran. Unexpectedly, the nanny blocked the dog, then quickly walked to the baby and began to touch the baby. There was a terrible sound and the barking of the dog in the recording.
“Shut up!” The nanny warned the baby impatiently with the dog. The couple couldn’t believe that this was the nanny’s behavior to a child who was only a few months old. Then the nanny began to shake the baby’s crib vigorously in the surveillance screen. The dog tried to drive the nanny out of the room, but the nanny was very flexible. After passing its movements, he shook the bed vigorously while dodging. The baby bumped back and forth in the crib with the nanny’s movements, and the cry of fear at first turned into a cry of pain.
The dog was very angry and drove the nanny out of the room with all his strength and rushed all the way to the gate. The nanny cursed the dog and left with her belongings. The
men couldn’t bear to watch it anymore. They hoped that they could use this device to go back to the time before the incident, arrest this vicious woman, and then go to comfort their poor son.
After watching the surveillance video, the couple immediately rushed home and took their poor baby to the hospital. After careful examination by the doctor, they found that the baby’s physical condition was not bad, just a little frightened. Afterwards, the couple notified the police. At first, the police did not find anyone in the nanny’s residence, but after careful searching, they finally caught the escaped prisoner.
After the police officer interrogated the nanny, the nanny confessed to what she had done. She admitted all her crimes, and finally, the cruel nanny was sentenced by the court to a maximum of three years in prison.
Thanks to the brave dog who reminded his owner, the couple’s baby was successfully rescued, and other babies were saved from the woman’s bullying. In the end, the owner of the dog is very grateful to the hero dog who is not only a good companion but also their son’s protector and savior. Proof that not all heroes wear capes; sometimes, they wear furry coats, walk around everyone, and dogs who sniff out evil from crowds can be great heroes too.
Animals also have complex emotions and consciousness, such as happiness, anger, sorrow, joy, sadness, thought, and fear. Although the language of animals is different from that of humans, and they cannot communicate with humans through language, sometimes we can use their behavior and expressions to communicate, and many animals have a stronger sixth sense than humans.
Therefore, animals can feel the kindness and malice of human beings, just like the dog in the story. It is precisely because of its reminder that the owner can discover the vicious behavior of the nanny.
