FORMER biologist Joel Rosenthal has achieved a lifelong dream by regularly hiking with his pet bears through the wilderness. At Point of View Farm in West Virginia, 74yearold Joel lives with five black bears and can go months on end without seeing another human being. Joel has been rescuing wild bears for the past seven years, raising them inside his house and protecting them in hunting season. And now, he has developed such a close relationship with the animals, he can regularly take them for hikes in the forest, handfeed them and sleep in their enclosures.
