Do everything to save your dog?

Oh, God! I hope I will never be in such situation, because the bear will end up with his nose broken! Of course I'd try to protect my dog from everything, no matter if the "thing" is another dog, a snake or a bear. I was in a situation like this when a stray bit my old dog Nera. He was a huge, black dog and he grabbed Nera by her back and he was shaking her like she was a piece of cloth. Nera wasn't a small dog but she was old and weak and she couldn't even run away to escape. Luckily she was wearing a vest (it happened two years ago in November) and the teeth of the aggressive dog stopped in that vest. Do you think I stayed there, looking how he was doing harm to my dog? No! I grabbed him by his neck and I hit him until he dropped Nera. In a normal situation, I wouldn't hit a dog. I wouldn't even get close to such a huge unknown dog. But that was not a normal situation. My dog was in danger and she needed my help.

I wonder whether the woman came across the bear in the field or zoo.But then,no matter where I meet it,far be it from me to dash ahead regardless of my safety to save my dog.A dog is nothing but pet ,not endangered animal ,is it worth my taking a risk?

I would do the same I take care of dogs for a living for 11 years I have been charged by many dogs and never been bitten once. In the dog world you must go forward if you backup that is a sign of weakness. If you needed help I am sure your dog no matter how big would come to your aid.Ran into a lot but no bears yet

We have barricaded our compound on all sides and in fact raised the height a bit just so that our dog does not jump out. We believe in the prevention is better than cure method. We keep our compound clean of all weeds so that no reptile, if any, goes unnoticed. We keep a constant vigil on the dog and if we notice anything abnormal such as if the coat is dry or if the dog does not eat all this is taken care of without any delay.

Woah! That woman had guts, she was able to stand up against a gigantic bear?! She's definitely a legend! Pets are your best friends, of course you have to save your friends. I had a budgie before and a feral cat sneaked into my house and tackled my bird cage down. I quickly grabbed a broom stick and shooed the cat outside my house. I was so glad my bird was still safe in his little cage. It's instincts! When your friend is in danger, you just got to jump in and save the day! =D

I wouldn't hesitate for a minute..I would do what ever I could to protect my dogs and I know they would do the same for me.

Well, in our country we dont have any bears, (thank goodness!) But if it does happen to me, Im not sure, it's hard to say. I'd probably faint first before I even think of punching the bear in the nose. But if it was someone or something I really loved that's in real danger I might just have the courage to do the same thing.

I beat up a deer that came after my dog. It was a stupid thing to do, but my Angels were there and I was not hurt, nor was the dog.

What a scary situation to be in! I feel as though there have been more and more bear attack stories on the news lately. You'd be amazed at the things you would do when your adrenaline is pumping. You might say now that you don't think you would step up to a bear or other animal, but if the event happened, your adrenaline would most likely take over and you would do the opposite of when your adrenaline was "normal". Pets, epecially dogs, are part of the family and some consider their pets as children, so if you would fight a bear or other animal off for your child(ren), you would do it for you pet, especially if you considered it your child.

if it was another dog i would surely get in the way but a bear is very difficult and scary to handle. it is able to do a lot of damage to both me and the dog.
