{{/usCountry}}“I cannot” believe how big Bristle is now! He can't be far off being fully grown! Will he soon leave to start his wild life? I wonder if he will return to visit, or stay and live near his current human family home. Bristle and Rukinga's relationship should be a lesson to us humans,” wrote a Twitter user. “So sweet - friendship!” commented another. “What a lovely friendship they are forming,” said a third.
