And it wasn't COPS or America's Most Wanted!!!!
There was a bit of excitement in his neighborhood, and you see him in the background, w/ backpack & talking to the two kids (on bikes) that are part of the main story.

So sad, that bear, at a year, is too young to be transported to unfamiliar territory and released.
Hopefully, they just took her up into the local wilderness area. Edgewood is I'd guess about 30 miles East of Albuquerque - and the Sandia mountains are the Eastern edge of Abq. There's a lot of wilderness type area all around - only inside ABQ or downtown Santa Fe is there much dense population in NM, or some of the towns. So, with any luck or good sense the young bear went to a not too harsh life.
Guess the brother lives in NM . Reminds me of my years there - we'd have Coyotes in the back all the time - just on the ridge a couple of hundred yards from the house.

Where this happened is in my brother's "neighborhood" - and it's a wide open plateau still fairly undeveloped. He drives close to an hour each way to/from work (an Intel Fabrication plant on the NW side of Albuquerque), which he only has to do 3 days a week (they are on the 3-days-on, 12 hour shifts; 4-days-off schedule). On his road are 2 other houses, each about
1/2 mile apart. Looks like my brother was on one of his "hikes" and came across the neighbor's kids, excitedly talking about it and showing him everything that remained - while the newscast was being taped!
I remember when that Intel plant was very new. Have friends that live in the valley, and we watched Rio Rancho being built, so to speak. I'm sure that most of that time comes while crossing ABQ itself - driving there is such a mish-mosh.
That's definitely out there, on ABQ terms. Guess your brother likes his space and wilderness! Does have that NM scrub area look of the high desert.
Pretty exciting.

He likes being "out there".
He told me a story one day, my SIL (his DW) was going down the stairs, and she looked out the window (at the turn in the stairs, sort of a landing half way down), and saw their dog 'chasing' something around a scrubby little bush in their back yard. Wanting to see what he was playing with, she stopped to watch. Lo & behold their dog (a collie, male neutered) was playing chase-tag with a coyote! She yelled at my bro what was going on. He didn't believe her - so went to look for himself. Sure enough, dog & coyote playing together. Not wanting their dog to get fleas, ticks or whatever else (Rabies!) from the coyote, Bro tapped on the window and the coyote ran off, and dog looked up at the house as if to say "you guys are such spoilsport". Sadly, the collie, Indie, passed away a few years ago - he was about 16 years old!
That's a great story. I guess if the coyotes not starving, they're not aggressively harmful. We never had any problems with them, occasionally rambling through the yard. But the golfers weren't thrilled with them being on the course.
Great story - sounds like a lovely dog, always sad to see them pass on.
