Brandi's Future Husband this week proves that he is an animal lover and willing to go out of his way to help. A Payson Arizona man got a little more than he bargained for when he went to move what he thought was a dead dog off the side of an Arizona highway.  After seeing the animal laying by the road, my future husband, Christopher Morris decided to stop and movie ti to the side. As he got closer, he learned that is was not a dog, but a bear cub. When he got close enough to touch it, he noticed it was still alive.  He looked for the cub's mother, but saw no sign of her, so Morris called several places in the local Payson area to take the bear. None had space. He then contacted the Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center in Scottsdale,  80 miles away and drove the bear to the Valley.  X-rays showed the 4-month-old cub suffered a fractured leg but was otherwise in good health. It is unknown if the cub will be released back into the wild.
