My 2nd dog story in 24 hours.

Now see this woman is a FReeper. How do I know? Only a FReeper would chase a Mama bear who was chasing her dog.

I would have done the same thing. That dog can out run the bear, thing is can the bear out run the dog's mom?

[Ken H]

Some FReepers might be disappointed that the dog lived.

[Mogger]

thing is can the bear out run the dog's mom?

Easily. I have encountered 2 black bears running through the woods, they are fast.

But how I really know, I clocked one at a little over 40 MPH that was running beside my car.

I would have chased the bear too. The difference is, I’m always armed. Had it come down to it, it would have been a very bad day for the bear.

Dog should have been on a leash, for its own protection, but I guess we don’t use those so much anymore.

[riverrunner]

In areas where bears are hunted with hounds they normally run away from dogs.

I live in the country in a state that allow bear hunting with dogs. My dogs have chased many a bear away.

Bears should run away from humans and dogs.

[Cronos]

I doubt there would be anyone like that.

[Chainmail]

Both the dog and that lady are stupid: a mother bear with cubs? Last thing on Earth anyone should mess with.

[9YearLurker]

I hope Zeus appreciates her devotion.

[Mr. K]

What a dumb comment. Are you saying Freepers are dog haters? geez, where did that come from?

[null and void]

Have we got a gal fo you...

I was just thinking about him reading this story....

"Jacobson came around 50 feet away from the bear when reality hit. She abruptly turned and high-tailed it home without her dog."

When danger reared it's ugly head,
She bravely turned her tail and fled.

I joke. I kid. In a similar situation, I would've said, "Damn. I'm gonna miss Zeus. He was a good dog."

[null and void]

They both didn’t hesitate to defend their dog!

[mad_as_he$$]

Flip flops are a nice touch.

[trebb]

Heh heh - you call the dog, “stupid” for being a dog...how stupid is that?

[Ikeon]

I'd say she loved her dog enough to forget she's dealing with an apex predator until reality kicked in. There is a bear saying " if its black you must attack, if its brown lay on the ground, and if its white kiss your a$$ good night.

iow, black bears arent normally aggressive, ( Mama bears excluded) brown bears will hopefully just sniff you before they eat you, and polar bears, well, You are 99% on the menu.

[Ikeon]

And never try and feed a grizzly a marshmallow you are holding in your mouth. - a nod to SNL

[Tom Tetroxide]

I thought woman preferred bears over men!

Man or Bear? (The world is a stupid place full of stupid people)

Agreed. Dumbass. Dog will be fine despite its dumbass owner who’s lucky the bear didn’t turn back toward its cubs.
