That’s one tough dog. Bo has bragging rights at the dog park now.

“Givens said she stayed inside and peered out her windows until the dog ran up to her back porch with injuries.”

Oh, hell no.

Stupid or not, I would be running *toward* my dog with whatever weapons I could grab, not hiding inside.

WOOOF!

BO was lucky. One dog against a bear? The dog will always lose, the only thing that saved BO’s life was that he had sense enough to break and run.
I have seven boys and girls in my pack, none of them ever go outside alone.
Two years ago they (all 7 of them) treed a what turned out to be a 300 pound boar; I came tearing out of the house with my 338 and yelled at them to get away and get back to the house.
Just at that moment the bear came down the tree and tore into all seven of them, took 3 shots to put the bear down and 3100 dollars to get George and Honey stitched back together.
My farm is in pretty wild country (surrounded by National Forest) and I never work outside without my boys and girls there, and never unarmed.
