00:00Every night, for weeks, he'd cry and pace.
00:04He just couldn't settle, couldn't let himself sleep.
00:11So one night, Bear simply got up and stayed with him.
00:36He gave up his own sleep, just lay down near him and stayed awake, keeping him company through the night.
00:44And slowly, the little one stopped passing and lay down beside him.
01:15He did it every single night, stayed up until the little one could finally rest.
01:25And every night, he settled a little sooner.
01:32There's nothing lonelier than a frightened dog, awake in the dark, while everyone else sleeps.
01:38He cried every night for weeks, so the old boy just stopped sleeping too.
01:43Stayed up beside him, night after night, until he felt safe enough to rest.
01:48And then, finally, he did.
01:50Nobody taught Bear to do that.
01:52He just couldn't bear to let the little one be afraid and alone in the dark.
01:56So he stayed, until he didn't have to anymore.
