Robert Tripp 
Meet the Bambearzo 
A Lesson Learned: No More Bullying

Kenny and his dog, Poochy, live in a small town close to the forest and mountains. They like to hike, fish, and to explore caves and secret places.

While exploring a cave, they encounter a strange new animal that looks like a bear but has wings like a bird and the feet of a mountain goat. Poochy asked the funny-looking creature, Strange animal, what are you?

The animal answered in a sad voice, I am a Bambearzo.

The Bambearzo feels alone, rejected, and bullied by the other animals. Kenny and Poochy help him to like himself and to find acceptance.
