Stand with this furry creature (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bear

I believe this is a double definition.

'stand' is the first definition.
(both can mean to tolerate or endure)

'this furry creature' is the second definition.
(furry animal)

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for bear that I've seen before include "Support; share seller" , "Paddington, for example?" , "Carry, convey" , "Massive mammal" , "Carry or endure" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
