Although the official coat of arms of Russia depicts a double-headed eagle, the bear is widely considered as the country’s unofficial mascot. While most people prefer keeping cats and dogs as pets, Russians have a fondness for bears and some even keep them as pets. In today’s story, we meet Veronica Dichka, a resident of Novosibirsk who proudly considers Archie as her trusted companion. Archie was initially rescued from a circus when he was still a cub by Maya Kirsanova. He lived with a few other bears in a safari park, which had to close down due to the pandemic. As it became increasingly difficult to maintain the shelter, Veronica stepped in and adopted him. Although Veronica had previously worked with Archie on a few photoshoots, she was only an acquaintance. However, now they are inseparable, and their special relationship is evident in the photos shared below.
Veronica became the proud owner of Archie, a lovable bear, when she realized that he didn’t have a proper shelter after the nearby zoo was shut down due to the pandemic.
Archie was brought into the world while in captivity, and relied entirely on human assistance to stay alive.
The cheerful duo hails from Novosibirsk, Russia, and their partnership is a bit unexpected. Credit for the photo goes to dichkaaaaa.
Veronica’s interests are diverse as she leads a multi-faceted life. She’s a model, an accomplished dancer, and has an undying passion for fishing.
Archie has been expanding his outdoor activities lately, and he even accompanied Veronica on a fishing excursion.
Archie is now enjoying a well-nourished life unlike his previous state. He has reached a point where hibernation is no longer necessary for him.
Veronica is someone who fully understands the significance of a warm, tight embrace commonly referred to as a “bear hug.”
Every day, they are inseparable.
To Archie, Veronica is like a part of his family. They enjoy meals together, Archie finds comfort sleeping in her embrace, and he seeks shelter behind her when he’s scared.
Archie and Veronica are overjoyed to have one another in their lives.
