Notice the upright grip for Ursula on the bear's harness. Animal folks help animal folks, but had Ursula ever asked, one might have thought twice about harnessing the bear.

This grip just slide over the bears shoulders and was not attached underneath. It was more for her balance as she rode the bear.
