In the heart of Dushanbe, Tajikistan, an orphaned bear cub was saved by a man who chose compassion over fear. He named her María — and for more than 20 years, they walked side by side through city streets, parks, and bus stops, stunning everyone who saw them. 🐻❤️
Their bond defied nature, amazed strangers, and became a symbol of love and loyalty. And when he passed, she followed him soon after… as if her heart couldn’t go on without him. 💔
A friendship like no other — one the city still remembers to this day.
