I am on a paddle boat in a very large lake somewhere. I’m with someone but I don’t know who it is.  We’re having a pleasant time and decide to rest so we paddle the boat to the side of the lake.  

I notice Marc there and a large bear cub.  I realize it is a brown bear and I watch as Marc picks the animal up by the scruff of its neck and wraps his arms around it.  I’m alarmed and call out to Marc to be careful as I see the animal’s extensive claws dig into the fabric of his shirt but Marc assures me he’s fine and I realize that he is.  He’s fine.  But I think that I should point out to him that he needs to be careful with animals like bears, which are untamed, naturally wild, and also get to be very large.
