Beagle Vs. Bear: Eastern Pa. Dog Recovers From Attack

Posted: 11:51 am EDT May 15, 2009Updated: 12:59 pm EDT May 15, 2009
POCONO LAKE, Pa. -- In a bear-versus-beagle spat, a Pocono Mountain pet was a lucky dog.

Susan Chappell said she let 6-year-old Heather out the door in Pocono Lake about 6 a.m. Wednesday, and heard a sudden commotion. Heather was barking at two bear cubs that had climbed up trees when a mother bear came out from under the porch and attacked.

Chappell said she and her 16-year-old daughter Emily rushed the bear, screaming and yelling, and Emily shoved it as they scooped Heather up and ran inside.

After emergency surgery for bad bites on the rear and abdomen, veterinarian Nichole Danova said Heather is recovering.

Susan Chappell said its a reminder that bears frequent wooded eastern Pennsylvania, and "Even though the Poconos are getting more populated, this was their home first.
 
I really like my dog, don't know that I like him enough to "shove" a bear for him. Shoot a bear maybe, but not shove one.

We don't have bears around here I wonder how far I would have to go.........nah.
 
Don't think I would shove a mad momma bear either. But, being a woman, if I had a broom (most women can be right deadly with a broom) that could be a different story.
 
8 miles from here, in Western Wisconsin, an old
lady,(80"s) with poor eyesight went out in her
yard to scare off a "big dog". she swatted it
a few times with her broom, and it ran off.
Neighbors said it was a Black Bear !
 
"That dog? My dog? Heck, I aint got no dog. And if'n I did, it wouldn't be dumb enough to tree a couple of cubs and get caught by momma bear. No sirree, it may have that same collar, might even have my name and address on it, but I assure you that's someone elses dog!

Poor critter oughta know'd better..."

That would certainly be my answer...
