Dandy and Stout An Unlikely Friendship by Judith Lydia Mercure

Dandy and Stout is the story of two animals with nothing in common but curiosity. A small rabbit and a large brown bear share adventures that make them question what they have been taught all their lives. As Dandy races a wildfire to warn the Rabbits in Clover Commons Colony, Stout tries to use his strength to help them escape the flames. But when Stout awakens from his winter hibernation, having forgotten who Dandy is, the two animals wonder if their friendship can survive the differences that make them who they are.
