The area in question is surrounded by dense forest and nature preserves in the Everglades.

There were numerous bears in the area. It is not clear if the dog was still tied up when the bear killed it hours after killing the 89-year-old semi-invalided man.

Living here in Florida, I heard this earlier today, 3 Black Bears were killed near the area where the dog was killed and the old man went missing.

One of the 3 bears was found with human remains in his stomach.

The bear was male, removing the idea that the bear was a female protecting her cubs.

Always keep spray and a 44 handy in bear country.

Too bad he wasn’t armed.
