Sounds like a lot of folks questioning if the bear in The Weirs Channel was real. Yes, he was. I am friends with Jose Dematos who owns The Channel Cottages. The bear wandered around his property, checked out his beach and then went next door to the new condos that used to be Handy Landing Store. Jose has pictures of his own up close! I think he got a little closer than he should have but he has good photos and lives to tell about it. He said the boats were all stopping and docking at the docks behind the condos to get a closer look. Sounds like the little guy felt trapped between the channel and Weirs Blvd. so he didn't know where to go. He chose the roof to see if he could see a better way out!
