The clever pup learns with delight/ he has a chance to set things right.
A common source of speculation in our house is Rupert Bear's feet. Rupert has human hands, but we never see his feet- are they bear feet or human feet? The Official Rupert Website has this to say:
...Rupert is really a small boy with a bear's head - although a furry back has been spotted whilst Rupert is having a bath. He has hands and feet - not paws. Only Edward Trunk- is cursed by real animal's feet ...
This is by far the most disturbing thing I've heard in a long time. A small boy with a bear's head? WHY? Is he some sort of mutant? And what does that make Edward Trunk? I like that the website acknowledges the tragedy of Edward's extremities- we've always felt bad for him.
Rupert... a small boy? No. This can't be true. There are actual small boys running around in Rupertland -where do they live? Nutwood? Something like that - and Rupert is nothing like them. He's clearly a bear. His LAST NAME is Bear! If that's not proof of species, I'd like to know what is.

Rupert is a bear. He is refered to as a bear by everyone-- even Santa. Funny about the hands, but saying he is a little boy with a bear's head begs the question
In fact, the site goes on to describe Rupert's relatives: Uncle Polar and Uncle Grizzly (who may very well eat little boys). What a funny thing to get so wrong. Little boy with a bear's head indeed!
