Once in a round about way my dog probably saved my life. I was sitting on my deck minding my own business when a bear came into the yard and started trying to push my apple tree down (so it could get the apples). It must of made me temporarily insane because I jumped off the deck and charged at the bear well calling it ever dirty name in the book. The bear ran into some heavy brush and I was going to go in after it but I noticed my dog had joined in on the chase and he was also about to head into the brush. I started thinking stupid dog that bear is going to kill you then it dawned on me that I was pretty stupid too (stupid is as stupid does - I guess). I would of probably went charging into the brush if I didn't notice my dog and come to my senses so I figure he saved my life. Cheers and happy weekend!
Cool. Dogs are basically too quick for bears.
