You know that black bears are not true hibernators...They do move around quite a bit in the winter....

Also, this area of North Carolina has many bears...There are more bears on the Carolina coast than there are in the Smoky Mtns....

If there was a Newfoundland in the neighborhood, it would have protected the boy...and it could very well be mistaken for a bear.

Happily for the kid, the bear was not into boy-skin rugs.

Well, Davy Crockett kilt him a b’ar when he was only three. This kid is in North Carolina, not Tennessee, and didn’t have a kilt to give to the bear.

Come on, now. Don’t go bringing facts into this. You know the scoffing of posted facts and idle speculation by FReepers who know EVERYTHING (without reading the article) and have ready opinions are paramount here.

Or a Japanese Akita. We had a black one once named Tojo that was around 150 pounds and he loved kids. We were told they were bred to protect families and especially kids. A lady stopped us once and asked if she could take a picture of our bear.

His story sounds similar to The Sarah Whitcher Story. Upon being found,she told everyone that Ollie, the family dog, came to sleep with her each night. The family was puzzled as Ollie was with them the whole time. When she ran up to Ollie he growled in reaction to the bear scent on her.

That story is assumed to have been true and God is sovereign over every creature in His creation; a similar instance of divine protection is possible. I’ve been close to a bear, the smell is powerful. I assume there would have been a lingering scent on him if it were true.

I can see how a Newfoundland could be mistaken for a bear by a small child. They are also bred as life savers.

Depends on climate. Here in coastal Oregon , some of the best forage begins growing right after the winter solstice.
