Max Wallace had a hamster and Adam O'Hara had a tortoise which he claimed was 60 years old, though I'm pretty sure he was exaggerating. Sam Tripp had a small lizard and a pet rabbit, which was a strange combination. But no one I knew had a grizzly bear sleeping in their garden shed, or sat beside a grizzly bear most nights watching TV.

A grizzly bear walked all the way from the zoo to my front door and not a single person noticed him.

He knocked on the front door three times, loud knocks that shook the house.
