I chased TPR over the moorland and past the skiers who were racing down to the loch along a single strip of snow. When TPR threw his sticks in the air and dropped over a steep cliff I thought that I had lost him forever – but he came back, carrying an extremely cute, cuddly, snow-white baby bear cub!

Just as I was about to take the cub into my arms a gamekeeper approached and demanded that TPR release the animal back into the wild. It needed to be left to grow so that there would be plenty of game for future ‘sport’.
