MONTREAL A bear that became a brief celebrity in Dorval this past May is getting some new-found respect. The animal first appeared in Dorval backyards near the waterfront. Authorities told locals to stay indoors while the search got underway. The animal was eventually captured, and then euthanized, leaving many residents outraged. One woman who lives on Strathmore Street, near where the bear was captured, had an idea after being required to cut-down most of a 200 year-old tree on her yard. She hired local chainsaw carving artist Dale Ruff to turn what is left of her tree into a tribute to the bear.
