For certain people having a cat or a dog for a pet is not enough. Certainly not those presented by the scenario writer Ross Haley in Bear About the House: My Supersized Fart, which preferred companions of rather dangerous animals.
Like the couple of Moscow Yuri and Svetlana which, for 24 years, have shared their house with Stepan, a brown bear of 10 feet. And divorced Melbourne, Vicky, who keep the crocodiles, its favorite of eight feet, 120 kg, Snap-Happy, Jilly. Or, Mike and Valerie Fogel who consider their buffalo of a ton, Cody, as a family member and even send them to the local bar in their rural and clearly very tolerant city of Houston, in Minnesota.
What did Halley want to know, allows people to live with an animal which, in theory, could kill them in a wink? For the Russians, clearly, the money was a factor because they made a sharp exchange of recruiting of Stepan for musical photo-shoots, musics and even of the marriages. Its list of appropriations of films was longer than that of Leonardo DiCaprio, one told us. And this bear was well protected; It even seemed to have affection, and certainly given a tender good.
The affection, or even any kind of bidirectional emotive street, was not so obvious in the case as of hooks. Cuddles was not really an option. Perhaps Vicky needed something to devote his life; And Jilly, perhaps, is satisfied not to devour it as long as other delicacies always came. Or at least as a long time as Vicky did not turn it his back.
More interesting was the case of Cody, the buffalo which crossed the house in a way bovine and able to reduce Mike and Valerie to tears when it was asked them why they looked after it so much. It was not that Cody was a substitute of the child. They had five children and nine grandchildren.
