"She was punching the bear and everything. Her right hand's all swollen up from punching the bear."

Sounds like trouble was a-bruin for that lady ‘n her pooch.

Was it a pit bull-Chihuahua mix, with an Elizabeth Warren level of Chihuahua?

Brave woman.

Some of those ChiChi dogs are badass and fearless. Must be channeling its inner Pit Bull.

I just want to make sure that the younger people here know that this crap didn’t happen back when I was young.

This is the fault of the slobbering moron greentard coprophages who have brought predators back into our residential areas.

God bless that baby pup. Some seriously painful time ahead of it. Hope it goes on to have the best life ever.

Hunt more bears.
