The surveillance footage shows the moment just after 2:30 p.m. when a brown bear and two cubs walked along a brick wall in the teen’s backyard in Bradbury. Three of the family’s dogs started barking at them. At the time, the family was gardening at another end of the yard when they heard the barking. Videos shows the bear swat at the dogs a few times before the teen runs up.
Video shows her shove the bear, causing the animal to fall backward and off the wall.
The teen suffered a sprained finger and scraped her knee, but she and her mother are thankful those are her only injuries. Hailey said she ran from the wild bear as quickly as she could.
The family said this isn’t the first time seeing a bear or other wild animals around their home in Bradbury since moving there in February. Morinico said bears are usually spotted in the neighborhood around two to three times a week.
But this is the first time any of them have gotten so close to the wildlife, they said. And it may be the last — both Hailey and her mother suggested no one do what she did.

Let’s hope those people will come to their senses.
Grizzlies, though mightily impressive and beautiful animals, are no cuddly little teddies (as some leftist city-slikers seem to assume), especially not for farmers and their livestock...
Speaking of sharks: just three years ago, there was a young California boy who was very severely bitten by a Great White while lobster-diving off the coast near Encinitas.
He made a miraculous recovery, which will hopefully continue. I have often prayed for him and his family.
If you are interested: he has been interviewed by several networks, and he always made a very good impression (on me): he seems really down-to-earth, as well as level-headed and mature for his age.
His name is Keane Webre-Hayes, and I wish him all the best for the future! :-)
I think there’s been three serious shark attacks along the Orange County coast since the adult Great Whites returned, beginning maybe around 2015. No one out here was any sense which is why they applaud and encourage the return of predators that snack on people.
If you actually could regenerate velociraptors like in Jurassic Park, California would do it. Might not be such a bad idea since this state is way too crowded and it would probably thin out the herd.
