It makes you wonder if you're seeing things ? I was coming back from the grocery store to the cottage a couple of summers ago when I saw what looked like a big black Newfie dog sitting by the side of the road by a mailbox about 200 yards down the road. I thought "those people don't even own a dog".

As I got closer, the "dog" turned out to be a young black bear. Two seconds later he jumped into the ditch and took off into the bush.
