If there's anything Casey wants people to learn from his friendship with Brutus, it's that animals and humans can live peacefully together. "Last year, 80 grizzly bears died due to human and bear conflict in the Yellowstone area," he says. "These animals have a value even deeper than we can imagine—all wild things do. So we should try to care more because they're really special. And if we care, we can co-exist peacefully with them."
