Over Memorial Day weekend, a video of a 17-year-old girl from California defending her dogs from a bear went viral. The girl’s cousin was able to record the entire incident with her phone.
The video begins with a massive bear and two cubs walking along a dividing wall in the girl’s backyard. The girl’s dogs begin barking and running towards the bear when the large bear reaches out towards one of the dogs, appearing to scratch them. At this moment, the girl runs from her house and pushes the bear over the dividing wall using her bare hands. Everyone appeared to escape the scene unscathed.
