Despite their terrible pasts, our rescued bears are generally just so good at leaving the bad times behind. One of the things I love about them is, simply, that they make you smile.

Belinda our Senior Bear Manager also captured a gorgeous moment they had a few days before and no words are necessary as she had been lucky enough to have her camera with her at the time.
