Brutus was best man at Casey Anderson's wedding

Casey and Brutus' connection is so close that Brutus was best man in Casey's wedding—one of many major life events the pair plan to share together. "Today I'm 33 years old and Brutus is 7, and grizzly bears in captivity can live to be 40," Casey says. "We're going to be old dudes together, and it's really wonderful that I get the opportunity to spend the rest of my life with my best friend."
