There is no doubt that these are beautiful pictures,

although I do understand there are concerns/complaints that there might be animal abuse because of WILD animals (like bear) being used in these shots. I don’t want to get into debate over whether we should limit ourselves to DOMESTICATED animal (like dog) only when taking photos of this kind, but I do believe that the intent of the photographer/artist here is innocent and shouldn’t be subject to blame.

    The above are real photos.  They are the works of Moscow-based photographer Darya Kondratyeva.

      • A wild animal could be tamed for many reasons, one of them is that the animal was rescued.
