JUNEAU -- Black bears in residential neighborhoods aren't exactly unheard of in Juneau. While many people stay inside when bears are about, one local woman says she had a different instinct when she saw her dog was in trouble.
It started out as a typical evening for 22-year-old Brooke Collins. She let her dogs out as usual but this time, she said there was a black bear outside who took hold of her dachshund Fudge. She said she feared for her pet's life and, in an instant, ran over and punched the bear right in the face to make it let go.

I'm tellin' ya ...
Where the women are WOMEN!
Haaa very good...you mean Black Bears' rights advocates aren't suing her? I wrote a thing on that. One showed up in my neighbors pool last year but she didn't punch him.
The lady is very fortunate that she's only a Darwin award runner up after that. That's got to be one of those things where once the dust settles you go "WTF?" I'm pretty sure the bear did that too. "Grrr, mmm, tasty noisy snack! Owww WTF???"
Good for her--and her little doggie, too!
