Russian Woman Forms a Special Bond with a Wild Rescue Bear

Friends can be found in the most unusual of places, and no one knows this better than Veronika Dichka. She rescued a wild brown bear named Archie from a safari park in 2019 and they have been inseparable ever since.

Archie is one of those animals that strikes terror in the hearts of most people who see him in person, but Dichka doesn’t feel this way about him. He spent most of his life living in a safari park until she decided to take him in and give him the warm and comfy home that he deserves.

Dichka is based in Novosibirsk, and she often shares photos that show her going boating and fishing with Archie by her side. She also had numerous photoshoots with her bear companion and attracted 700,000 TikTok followers with viral videos that chronicle her daily life with Archie.

Her clips show him doing everything from dancing and eating to doing all sorts of everyday activities, such as traveling on a train and riding a swing. It’s truly incredible to see a bear do all of these things since Archie and Veronika have the kind of a special relationship you only get to see in animated movies, not in real life.
