We all know a dog will have its owner’s back no matter what, so it’s good to see a human repay the favour for once. This guy showed no hesitation whatsoever, just dropped to all fours and went straight into attack mode. Which doesn’t actually seem like the best strategy for fighting a bear, but clearly it was effective enough.
Apparently black bears aren’t very aggressive and actually quite timid compared to other bears, and while that may be true you still have to give this old man props for protecting his pups. I’d like to think we would all do the same in a situation like that, but who knows? In this man’s case it was a huge W in exchange for a few seconds of utter terror and a couple scratches that he picked up. According to the man’s wife on social media: “Dogs and my husband are ok. Husband has to start rabies shots today so he’s nervous.” Great news all round (as long as he doesn’t have rabies).
