A Seymour resident gained a photo as his neighbour lost some footwear recently.
Patrick Lee readied his camera as an approximately three-year-old bear ambled from yard to yard on Riverside Drive across the Seymour River.
The shoe-curious bear wasn鈥檛 threatening but it seemed purposeful, Lee said.
鈥淚t knew to look for garbage around the side of the house,鈥� Lee said, noting the bear scurried away as soon as a neighbour opened a patio door.
The playful bruin eventually clamped down on a neighbour鈥檚 gardening shoe, dangling the shoe by its laces and swinging it around before letting it loose with what Lee called a 鈥減erfect lob.鈥�
鈥淚t went straight in the river,鈥� Lee said.
