Sometimes wildlife encounters are so unusual that they seem almost unbelievable. This is the story of a retired man in Alaska who has formed a remarkable relationship with some very large backyard visitors.

There was a feature on this guy in one of the Anchorage newspapers. He is retired and has been feeding bears in his cottage's backyard for more than 25 years. The bears just come and hang out, and he believes them to be his friends.
