Walking with my pet bear - St. Petersburg, Russia

That's really a bear, and we're really in front of St. Isaac's Cathedral
in downtown St. Petersburg, Russia, across the Neva River from the University.
I could take him on the train, the bus, the trolley, or a taxi, but I wasn't allowed
to take him on the subway -- and I never was too successful at housebreaking him.
