Little dogs don’t know they’re little.

I’ve always said that if I were to get a dog, it would be one big enough to rip the throat out of a home invader, not one that attacks the toes and ankles.........

I hope they have souls and will be with us in Heaven.

Now that is a "Braveheart"! It's also selfless love and devotion.

Defending yourself and your family from a black bear attack using “Pickles” is a poor substitute over a firearm.

I’m curious how it got into the home......and why didn’t she have a gun?

Black bears are all around here in North Carolina, but I never heard of one breaking into a home....
....the most they do here is drink the liquid from the hummingbird feeder.

My sis lives in Black Mt. Bears are common visitors to the town’s neighborhoods. A few years ago one wrecked the cyclone fence in her backyard on it’s way out of Dodge.

The adjoining neighbor had one in it’s yard a month or so ago.

I had a small dog as a child that would die to protect my family (and nearly did several times).

I learned as much about courage from that dog as I learned from any human.

Humans have put animals so much lower down the totem pole than is true and real.

The Church--mostly the Catholic Church--has taught us that animals have no soul and will not go to heaven.

On experience and intuition, I call bullshit on that.

I have seen animals demonstrate incredible courage and heart...much more than most humans I know.

Heaven would not be heaven without them.

And I would rather spend eternity with animals than Pope Francis and his pederastic apostles.

Sorry about the insult to the Catholic Church. I love the Church, but it is often wrong.

And sorry for the emotional outburst, but I am easily triggered into a fighting mood when animals are attacked unjustly.

And there are people on this very forum who say dogs don’t go to heaven.

I had a travel assignment in Asheville a few years ago and my housing was in Black Mountain. Very beautiful. As I was walking my dog Otis, a lady pulled up beside me and asked if I’d like a ride home. I said no, I was walking my dog. She said well there’s a bear been following you and he probably wants to go after the dog. Otis(exactly two years gone now) and I hopped in her car and she took us home. I never did see the bear though.

BLACK bears are USUALLY not aggressive except when they feel cornered or they have young near by.
Actually, i have been attacked by about a half a dozen dogs but no bears so far.

Our Chihuahua will go after anything. Small dogs can be fierce.
