A black bear cub that apparently lost its way decided to follow a farmer to his home in Baoshan County, Yunnan Province, Chuncheng Evening News reported.

The farmer was heading home after he grazed his cattle on a mountain near his village on Thursday. As he walked home, he noticed a small animal was behind him.

The farmer took the bear back home and fed it. He reported the case to forestry police who handed it over to the local park for safe-keeping.

The bear is only three months old and was still being breastfed.
