Description
A 13-year-old male pony named "Pochan" near the Hirose River in Yonekabukuro, Aoba Ward, refused for several days to approach the river on walks after a bear sighting in Mukaiyama 2-chome, Taihaku Ward at the end of October. Owner Mitsuko Nishikawa says when the pony refuses to go, she treats it as a sign of potential bear danger and avoids the walk.
