O knihe

ALL PROFITS FROM THIS BOOK WILL GO TO THE VITAL GROUND FOUNDATION. Lynne Seus and her husband, Doug Seus, started with twenty-five cents and a dream they were told was preposterous. Their family and friends repeated, "You can't just go rescue grizzly bears and turn them into movie stars." Yet, Bart the Bear roared to fame and was recognized as a star, and featured as a presenter at the 70th Academy Awards. This magnificent animal shared the screen with some of the most famous faces in Hollywood, as did his namesake, the orphaned cub, Bart the Bear 2. Their most important role, however, was their inspiration for the Vital Ground Foundation. Their name and power connected celebrities and wilderness advocates to preserve over one-million acres of wildland to date. The lives of these beloved grizzlies had to matter for something more than movies. In The Grizzlies and Us you will laugh, you might cry, and then you might laugh some more at the stories of the great soul of the great bear at the heart of a family. This is a story that no one else can tell. That is unless one has over 50 years of singular memories with five grizzly bears, a black bear, wolf packs, cougars, coyotes, eagles, foxes, bobcats, owls, raccoons, deer, a badger named Billy, and a trio of human children. "You can't do this," they said. "Nobody does this." This is how we did it. It is a love story.
