Novosibirsk resident Veronica Dichka can proudly say that Archie is her faithful companion. Archie, who is also from Novosibirsk, was initially rescued from a circus by Maya Kirsanova when he was a puppy. He lived in a safari park along with some other bears until it had to close due to the pandemic. As time went on, it became increasingly difficult to maintain the shelter, and that’s where brave Veronica came into the picture and adopted him. It’s worth mentioning that Veronica previously worked with the bear on some photo shoots, but she was just an acquaintance of Archie. But now they are inseparable and the photos you will see below are a testament to their special relationship.
