"Anything can happen anywhere.
Anywhere was an island.
Anything was a bear."
One windy morning on a wild and quiet Hebridean island, a bear appeared where there should not have been a bear.

But even friendly bears don't belong on Scottish islands. Will he ever find his way home? Based on a true story from the Scottish Hebrides.
