Joe Raedle / GettyimagesMy Best Friend The Grizzly Bear - Kids all over the world are comforted by their favourite teddy bear - who goes everywhere they do. But they'd all trade places with Mark and Dawn Dumas who have a REAL teddy bear in the form of 18-month-old grizzly bear Billy. Just like stuffed bears who are always by their kiddie owners' sides, Billy the grizzly bear even follows Mark to the local PUB near Vancouver, Canada. At 5ft on his hind legs, it's easy for Billy the grizzly bear to get his paws up onto the bar - or the pool table while Mark and wife, Dawn 51, play a game. At home Billy the grizzly bear splashes in the pool with Mark, 61, playing with his toy inflatable ball. After a swim, billy the grizzly bear joins the couple in their living room to watch TV or have a play-fight with youngster Billy the grizzly bear on the carpet.
