ABBOTSFORD, B.C. Conservation officers and wildlife rehabilitators haven’t had any luck tracking down a tiny bear cub spotted alone in Abbotsford almost a week ago. The young cub, which is believed to weigh about five to 10 pounds, was last seen wandering near a housing complex off Whatcom Road in Abbotsford on the afternoon of May 15. Kya Wolfs was one of the people who saw the bear. “My mom said, ‘Oh look, that looks like a little cat or little puppy,’ but it was just like a little bear,” she said. “Just walking around crying. It was sad.”

Thousands of dollars have been raised for a search and rescue volunteer whose puppy was taken by a cougar in Metro Vancouver this week.
The GoFundMe campaign for the dog’s owner, Isaac, has seen more than $12,000 in donations pour in since it was launched on March 12.
Isaac, a volunteer with the Coquitlam Search and Rescue, had intended to train the German shepherd puppy, named Diez, to become a member of the service’s K9 team.
Raising a search-and-rescue dog had been the Anmore man’s lifelong dream, the GoFundMe page states, noting that he had funded the purchase of the puppy by himself.
