Summary:
Once, Anderson was passing through the fields near Mysore along with his companions when they encountered wild pigs that were being driven away from the fields. Some of the pigs had fallen dead when shot, while others had fled. At this time, a sloth bear appeared unexpectedly and was killed by one of the friends of the narrator. Soon they discovered that a baby bear had been riding on the back of the mother bear that lay dead after being shot. The young cub was shocked to find his mother dead. As he ran away into the fields, the narrator chased and captured him. He presented the young bear to his wife who named him Bruno as it was a male cub.
Initially, the young bear was fed with milk from a bottle but soon he started eating all kinds of food. He would drink almost every kind of liquid – all soft and hard drinks. Soon Bruno developed a friendly bond with the two Alsatian dogs that the family owned as well as with the children of the tenants. He enjoyed complete freedom playing and moving about in every corner of the narrator’s house and even slept in their beds.
One day, Bruno went to the library of the narrator and by chance consumed barium carbonate, a kind of poison that had been kept to kill the rats. The poison soon showed its effect and Bruno suffered an attack of paralysis. However, he managed to reach the narrator’s wife who at once informed her husband. Bruno was immediately taken to a veterinary doctor who administered two antidote injections of 10 c.c. each to the bear. Bruno got well and soon started eating like normal. At another time, he accidentally drank old engine oil. However, it did not have any effect on him.
The narrator’s family took good care of Bruno, so he grew at a fast pace acquiring many times the size he was when he came. He had become mischievous and playful. The narrator’s wife now changed his name to Baba which means a ‘small boy’. He learnt to perform a few tricks as well but still had to be kept chained because of the tenants’ children. Soon the author and his son felt that he should be sent to a zoo because he had become too big to be kept at home. The narrator’s wife, who had got deeply attached to Bruno, was convinced after much effort. The bear was taken to the Mysore zoo after getting a positive response from the curator. After Bruno left, the wife of the narrator fretted and would not eat anything for some time. Meanwhile, reports from the curator and the friends of the narrator who visited the zoo reported that Bruno too was sad and was not eating anything. After three months, at the insistence of his wife, the narrator took her to the zoo. Bruno at once recognised the narrator’s wife and expressed delight by howling with happiness. After spending three hours feeding and pampering Bruno, the narrator’s wife requested the curator to give Bruno back to her. He, in turn, recommended her to contact the superintendent. Finally, with the Superintendent’s permission, Bruno was brought home. In order to keep him comfortable and safe, an island with a dry pit or moat around it was made especially for him. The author’s wife would spend a lot of tune on the island with Bruno sitting in her lap. This indicated that sloth bears to have affection, memory and individual characteristics.
