It must take some getting used to. Raising precious babies, watching them grow to independence, then letting them go. I for one, will NEVER get used to being an "Empty-Nester." If not for the dreaded hands of time, I'd keep having baby after baby... a bit like these dear Rescuers do.💕💕💕

@local182 does being toxic on the internet make you feel like you're doing something in your life? Because you're not. You're most definitely just a sorry person
Wonderful rescue. That's how it's done. When a bear falls into your lap to rescue, don't make the bear a human child, make yourself a mama bear, then set them free when they're ready. Well done.
Judy Stearns, y'all did a wonderful thing. Rearing Casper and Dudley for release was overwhelmingly perfect. Thanks for doing whatever it takes to save the wildlife for bears. ❤️🧸👏🧸❤️
Hopefully they were taught the basics on how to find food in the wild, especially since it appeared to be winter time when they were released. Maybe it was the earliest part of spring, and it quickly warmed up. Or maybe it was an early snow, but in fall, in which case they'd have to find a den(s) to hibernate in. Who knows.

Nice to have rescued two baby cubs and still be able to release them back to the wild. I wish them well and thrive in the wild w/o encountering any human beings again. And Thanks Judy and whoever help in rescuing the wild life! You are my heroes and exceptional human.
I watch the Wild Bear Rescue from BC whenever it comes on TV. They try really hard to keep them wild and they are so funny . They play and play fight and swim in the pools and climb.....so curious. I have seen many times they release 2 bears that were buddies and they will go in 2 totally different directions. They will put radio collars on them sometimes so they can track where they go.
Layput I don’t doubt that they made an informed decision to let them go. Just saying after caring and loving them it would be hard letting them go. Natural habitat is always best if they are equipped for it.

Shout-out to them for releasing the bears back into the wild instead of trying to say they wouldn't survive and keep them in prisons, better known as zoos or sanctuaries 👏👏👏
This was such a special treat to see the development of these 2 bear cubs at such an early age and how they eventually became BFFs. My heart soared at each milestone reached and especially when they were released out into the wild to go be their best bear-selves. Thank you for all you did for them to let them attain this goal of freedom. Bless you and all those who give of themselves so that these animals get their best shot at being what they are created to be - expressions of their Creator.
1:03 OMG! That has to be about the cutest fricking bear I have ever seen. Part of what makes it so cute is it is so wide eyed, and his eyes are filled with youth, vigor, and wonder, moreso than I have seen in other bears. Perhaps it is my inexperience in these animals, but I still hold firm on that is the cutest damn bear I have ever seen.
pretty sure many of them have done this a while. The early animals they probably felt that way, but after so many animals taking care of and releasing, pretty sure that solid attachment they might have had early in their work isn't there any more. You develop that "its a job" mentality after a bit instead of "im raising a pet".
What a great rescue and rehab job! Formidable amount of work looking after baby bears, 24/7 work. It must have been so hard to say goodbye to these two cuties! Thank you for your work!

TRUTH BE TOLD, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN INFINITELY SAFER WHERE THEY WERE. NOW THEY HAVE TO KILL FOR THEIR FOOD, FEND OFF WOLF PACKS AND THE BITTER COLD, HOPE THEY DON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN A FOREST FIRE OR GET SHOT BY A TROPHY HUNTER, ET. AL. NOTHING WRONG WITH HAVING "WILDLIFE" IN PROTECTIVE ENVIRONMENTS WHERE THEY CAN REPRODUCE IN RELATIVE EASE TO INSURE THE PERPETUATION OF THEIR SPECIES. RESPECTFULLY.
@@miltonmoore8369 ok, by your logic we need to domesticate all animals and keep them "safe". Some animals thrive off better in the wild, especially bears and lions, they can kill you with just one big stomp. Whales can also kill you by screaming if you're close enough. So real truth be told, don't keep wild animals, as small as a stoat or as pathetic as a deer.
I had a baby bear and raised him for 2 years ... he lived in a bedroom in our home and he was a total Joy Awesome experience... finally we donated him to the Minneapolis Zoo many years ago... Bears are smart and loving ...
The good thing is they took care of the bears as independently as possible. The bears were not close to their caretakers which is a good start to their real wild journey
Would be kind of neat to know how they do in the wild. Most mature male bears are more solitary so the day will come when they are no longer bud's but to have the beginnings together is really cool. Great humans doing an amazing job of rescuse and release projects with wild life. Obvously the humans know what they need to do to insure bears are not dependent on people. Lets pray they never are as it usually means the end of the bear's life. And not just bears. So adorable to watch and stay safe everyone.
I'm so glad that Casper finally became friends with Dudley it was so heartwarmingly beautiful to see them getting released together where they can now go and live long happy lives together in the wild which is where they belong xxxx
I just wanna pick them up and say "Silly ol bear" and give them boops. Thank you for being such an awesome person and friend to these amazing creatures
For everyone who thinks animals don't feel, or have emotional bonds, they DO! Granted once they reach the "BIG" STAGE when they can eat you, things change. Same with all wild animals. As babies they are adorable and "NEED" us to survive. Once they become adults, instincts can kick in and then ?? Your love for these babies is so awesome! I'd do the same exact thing if I was in the same position. I tried to save a baby bird as a child, but it died, and the "guilt" I felt as a little kid was tough. But seeing these Dodo videos, seeing how we can and do make a difference! Shows me there are decent people who still care for and love animals, ALL ANIMALS!
There are plenty of adult animals like bears and lions that still like the humans that raised them. Obviously still danger involved but that bond does persist.
Thank you for another dose of happiness! You are so fantastic in your work of raising baby bears who need special care. They are so adorable to watch and it makes me thankful to live in a world full of beautiful animals!
Black bears have a kinder demeanor than most bears! Grew up around them. They're like the dogs of the bear world. Pit bulls, but dogs nonetheless. Rarely do black bears attack humans not as defensive action. If you get too close to their cubs or corner them, they'll act accordingly. But give them space, they'll just curiously sniff around and go about their business. Sometimes they'll waddle up to your campsite, seeing if you have food, but they don't see you as food (unless you are a salmon (are you a salmon? (how did you learn to use a computer???))) If one approaches you in the wild - e.g. hiking - stand up tall, arms up, make loud noises and leave the area in a calm but expeditious manner. DO NOT MAKE EYE CONTACT. This is a sign of aggression across all species, but especially bears. Especially grizzlies. Grizzlies are godless, marauding killing machines. Do not trust grizzlies. Do not let them borrow money. They will not pay you back.
@@taylorm771 LoL. Love your humour, with the salmon thing and the last part about not trusting them, grizzlies, with money... reminds me of someone actually, about lending of money & the God-less beastly maraudering thing too :/
@@taylorm771 and don't forget to take your bear spray when you go into the woods. Yes I would rather meet up with a black bear any time than a grizzley.

You guys rock! What fabulous video and to know these babies are being released to boost the next generation. Your love and dedication is precious and so important. Good on you guys 🐻
I love these people who rescue animals like this. These little cubs were very lucky to have made it to this couple because they obviously know how to take care of bears. How rewarding this must be. I wonder if any of these rescues have ever come back to visit.
Cute video! Just imagining the faces of Dudley and Casper after the get exhausted from playing in the forest, realize they’re hungry, then come back to where their humans left them.
Love this story. The way Casper was rescued then he made friends with Dudley and they had so much fun together. Then they took off into the wild together. I wish them both well and hope they stay close. These rescuers are the best. I would miss them, but it would comfort me to know that they were out there happy and free.🐻🐻
That's amazing how ya'll were able to raise and release those baby bears into the wild! So so cool and so sweet. I'm really glad they had their helpers and each other! I hope they live a long and beautiful bear 🐻 life! 🤎
I'm not sure I subscribe to the wings and halos bit, but thanks for correctly spelling "angels", "they're" and "there", and even properly deploying a semicolon. :-)
Its probably hard to resist not to pet and hug those cute bears so that they won't have bond to humans and they can still live like a wild bear after got released.
@@justicewaits7726 ooof lordy, that's one of the things they test before they are released. And some preserves are huge, they get to learn & practice their skills before they go. This work is extraordinarily expensive, they aren't releasing animals who don't master feeding themselves. All over the world this is part of the release process. Are you new here 🌎?
I love how happy she is that the bears left with only a glance back. Proves that she's doing great work releasing these animals back into the wild where they belong!

WERE. NOW THEY HAVE TO KILL FOR THEIR FOOD, FEND OFF WOLF PACKS AND THE BITTER COLD, HOPE THEY DON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN A FOREST FIRE OR GET SHOT BY A TROPHY HUNTER, ET. AL. NOTHING WRONG WITH HAVING "WILDLIFE" IN PROTECTIVE ENVIRONMENTS WHERE THEY CAN REPRODUCE IN RELATIVE EASE TO INSURE THE PERPETUATION OF THEIR SPECIES.
RESPECTFULLY.
@@miltonmoore8369 ok, by your logic we need to domesticate all animals and keep them "safe". Some animals thrive off better in the wild, especially bears and lions, they can kill you with just one big stomp. Whales can also kill you by screaming if you're close enough.
So real truth be told, don't keep wild animals, as small as a stoat or as pathetic as a deer.

Amen to that. Well said.
I had a baby bear and raised him for 2 years ... he lived in a bedroom in our home and he was a total Joy
Awesome experience... finally we donated him to the Minneapolis Zoo
many years ago...
Bears are smart and loving ...
why to the zoo?..
I wonder the same thing; why not take him out to where he could be free?
@@user-cw2pb9zf8jraised in a bedroom wouldn’t of been the best start to being released into the wild 🤔
The world needs more people like you!! The very best of luck!!
What a beautiful friendship between two cuties.
Oh my God these bears are so precious. You have big hearts to do this work.
Casper, after being rescued, is living out his best bear life in the wild.❤❤💕💕💜💜
His yawn was so adorable I was like AWWWWW MY GOSHHHH
Yeah 😻😻😻
Yasss! Soo cute!! ❤️😍
Ok
Cudos to you for caring for Casper and Dudly and giving them a chance at a wonderful life♥️♥️♥️
The good thing is they took care of the bears as independently as possible. The bears were not close to their caretakers which is a good start to their real wild journey
Still, I thought it might have been better if they had stayed with Casper when he went out for the first time, to relieve his anxiety.
I hope Casper and Dudley are doing well out in the wild.
Would be kind of neat to know how they do in the wild. Most mature male bears are more solitary so the day will come when they are no longer bud's but to have the beginnings together is really cool. Great humans doing an amazing job of rescuse and release projects with wild life. Obvously the humans know what they need to do to insure bears are not dependent on people. Lets pray they never are as it usually means the end of the bear's life. And not just bears. So adorable to watch and stay safe everyone.
And or doing wild out in the well
thanks for saving them..I hope they are safe from other humans..
Sweet video.. thank you so much for caring for our wildlife… bless you all..
I'm so glad that Casper finally became friends with Dudley it was so heartwarmingly beautiful to see them getting released together where they can now go and live long happy lives together in the wild which is where they belong xxxx
What a wonderful woman. "If you love someone, set them free". Beautiful people and animals.
I agree, and then their natural instincts 'kick in' almost assuredly!
Your funny...i like you🙂
Two winning little guys. Hope you're doing well, wherever you are.
Thank you for your passion in helping these bears! Amazing story!
I just wanna pick them up and say "Silly ol bear" and give them boops. Thank you for being such an awesome person and friend to these amazing creatures
For everyone who thinks animals don't feel, or have emotional bonds, they DO! Granted once they reach the "BIG" STAGE when they can eat you, things change. Same with all wild animals. As babies they are adorable and "NEED" us to survive. Once they become adults, instincts can kick in and then ?? Your love for these babies is so awesome! I'd do the same exact thing if I was in the same position. I tried to save a baby bird as a child, but it died, and the "guilt" I felt as a little kid was tough. But seeing these Dodo videos, seeing how we can and do make a difference! Shows me there are decent people who still care for and love animals, ALL ANIMALS!
There are plenty of adult animals like bears and lions that still like the humans that raised them. Obviously still danger involved but that bond does persist.
the people who don't think about animal emotion are very unlikely to read your bit and if they do they will be in denial ;)
Preach to the choir!
What kicks in is hunger, mostly, to cause and then teach that aggression. and of course adult instincts like you noted too.
Loved this video! Grateful that there are still good people out there. Thank you
Is so beautiful ,thank you for loving and care for Casper
I wasn’t ready to cry Casper 😩 go get it big boy
Absolutely adorable when he got outside for the first time and sniffed the air/felt the sun.
Thank you for another dose of happiness! You are so fantastic in your work of raising baby bears who need special care. They are so adorable to watch and it makes me thankful to live in a world full of beautiful animals!
Baby animals are the sweetest to watch.
OH MY GOD! They're so precious! I know they'll grow up deadly, but in their infancy I just want to cuddle them so badly.
Not necessarily that they would grow up "deadly" unlike grizzlies but the natural instinct should never be taken away from any animal rescued.
Black bears have a kinder demeanor than most bears! Grew up around them. They're like the dogs of the bear world. Pit bulls, but dogs nonetheless.
Rarely do black bears attack humans not as defensive action. If you get too close to their cubs or corner them, they'll act accordingly. But give them space, they'll just curiously sniff around and go about their business. Sometimes they'll waddle up to your campsite, seeing if you have food, but they don't see you as food (unless you are a salmon (are you a salmon? (how did you learn to use a computer???)))
If one approaches you in the wild - e.g. hiking - stand up tall, arms up, make loud noises and leave the area in a calm but expeditious manner. DO NOT MAKE EYE CONTACT. This is a sign of aggression across all species, but especially bears. Especially grizzlies. Grizzlies are godless, marauding killing machines. Do not trust grizzlies. Do not let them borrow money. They will not pay you back.
@@taylorm771 LoL. Love your humour, with the salmon thing and the last part about not trusting them, grizzlies, with money... reminds me of someone actually, about lending of money & the God-less beastly maraudering thing too :/
@@taylorm771 and don't forget to take your bear spray when you go into the woods. Yes I would rather meet up with a black bear any time than a grizzley.
@@taylorm771 What do you men by 'pitbulls'? Are Black Bears unpredicatble?
Thank You for giving those bears a chance and doing all you do.
Thank you so much for your compassion and care for these two beautiful bears🐻❤️
FABULOUS STORY OF LOVE BETWEEN HUMANS AND ANIMALS, ALL FROM THE SAME TREE OF LIFE
Dodo, your baby animals posts are dangerous to my health 🙂 My heart either melts from cuteness overload or bursts from joy..in any case, keep posting these lovable stories ❤💞❤💞💞❤💞❤💞
I also love these 😻😻😻😍😍😍
You accidentally put a swear emoji in?
@@MouseTableChair i think so,idk
Maybe he/she put that there for a reason
@@MouseTableChair oops, that's what happens when I text without my glasses 😪😪 I took it out🙂🙂
@@nataliekolenic4352 what emoji?
You guys rock! What fabulous video and to know these babies are being released to boost the next generation. Your love and dedication is precious and so important. Good on you guys 🐻
This explains the enduring love for teddy bears.💖
That's a beautiful thing you fine folks have done for two these two lovely critters. 👏👏
It makes you heart full when you see creatures living the life they were intended to live.🐻🐻
I love these people who rescue animals like this. These little cubs were very lucky to have made it to this couple because they obviously know how to take care of bears. How rewarding this must be. I wonder if any of these rescues have ever come back to visit.
Cute video! Just imagining the faces of Dudley and Casper after the get exhausted from playing in the forest, realize they’re hungry, then come back to where their humans left them.
You folks who save these animals are amazing. /Respect.
Love this story. The way Casper was rescued then he made friends with Dudley and they had so much fun together. Then they took off into the wild together. I wish them both well and hope they stay close. These rescuers are the best. I would miss them, but it would comfort me to know that they were out there happy and free.🐻🐻
I absolutely LOVE this video and the bear friendship! Thank you for being such great foster parents! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
What this channel does for my soul is beyond words. Thank you.
IKR!!! Same here, the dodo gives me at least one smile a day! I love how good it is for my soul!!!
Very special moments in time, thank you
That's amazing how ya'll were able to raise and release those baby bears into the wild! So so cool and so sweet. I'm really glad they had their helpers and each other! I hope they live a long and beautiful bear 🐻 life! 🤎
It's so good that there are people helping bears like these two - absolute gratitude and love!🐻🐻🧡🤸😊
How wonderful. Thank you .
Much love to Casper and Dudley, I absolutely love bears and animals in general
Imagine going to a vet: "Hey vet, I found this in the woods“. *puts bear cub on the table XD
Ok
Lmao right
😂
Very Russian thing indeed
"He said quickly:
- Its fine *puts the cub away*"
Thank you for rescuing animals of any species. You guys are Angels on earth. You wear wings & halos; we can’t see them, but they’re there. 😇😇😇😇😇
I'm not sure I subscribe to the wings and halos bit, but thanks for correctly spelling "angels", "they're" and "there", and even properly deploying a semicolon. :-)
@@Graham_Wideman I always wanted to be a writer. Excelled in English classes. But, no time for research when I had to pay a mortgage
Oooops! Sentence gone before “period” was added.
@@Graham_Wideman - I seldom use semicolons but will occasionally brandish them for shock affect. Here goes ;;;! ....maybe if I tried boldface?
@@Graham_Wideman 🤢🤢
Its probably hard to resist not to pet and hug those cute bears so that they won't have bond to humans and they can still live like a wild bear after got released.
It's good they never forgot that they are wild at heart. Let them be bears and not pets.
Some bears love their humans and lick and cuddle until death
They pet them. They have to hold them to do meds food and other things
Well, they can't really live like wild bears--they didn't have a mother to teach them how to forage for food. They probably starved to death.
@@justicewaits7726 ooof lordy, that's one of the things they test before they are released. And some preserves are huge, they get to learn & practice their skills before they go. This work is extraordinarily expensive, they aren't releasing animals who don't master feeding themselves. All over the world this is part of the release process. Are you new here 🌎?
My heart goes out to the wild animals that get displaced from man. Thank you for making a difference.
