Title: Family dog saves kids from black bear
Post by: Hobbit on Aug 22 07 03:36
A family dog, Rottweiller, held a black bear at bay while four kids were stuck up in their treehouse when a bear wandered into their yard in British Properties. [A href="vny!://www.virtualvancouver.com/news/news-54.html"]Full news story[/A]. The bear was trying to get to the family's plum tree. In the end the bear got some plums and then left after being scared off by the dog and the kid's mom.

  That is one great dog... wish I had a brave and courageous dog like that.

Poor bear, must be hungry and have to eat as much as possible to pass through winter. And what he founds ? Suburbs... (//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/11.gif)

I don't think there's too much humans.....I think there's humans that want too much.

nobody cares about open spaces. Won't be too much longer most of the Eastern US will look like Europe no open spaces.

That should probably re-name the dog to Killer and not Pee Weenie. Gee, if a black bear were to come up to us, our dog would probably run under my skirt, the little coward. (but bless his wee heart)

Love that pic. Black bears have a bad reputation that is exagerated.

I always say, when nature is out of balance, you can be sure 'man' has had it's hand in it somewhere along the line.

Black bears may have a bad reputation, but I still wouldn't be all alone in the woods hiking and get too close to black bear. They're still wild animals. I try to avoid all bears, cougars and coyotes when I'm hiking. I'll stick to getting close to chipmunks and squirrels.
