A North Carolina man says he owes his life to his dog for saving him from a black bear that charged at him near his home.
Haw Creek resident Billy Green says bear sightings are common in his neighborhood without any issues, but that wasn’t the case Wednesday morning.Green said he was out with his dogs when a bear kept walking toward them that morning.
“I yelled to get the bear to run off, but the bear came running, charged me and pinned me between my car and the house,” Green said. He said his puppy was barking at the bear, which may have startled the animal, but his other dog, Shayla, jumped into action. “When the bear came at me the first time, it was about a foot away from me. She jumped, and when the bear jumped back, it was trying to swipe at her, but she got the bear down the bank,” Green said.
It was a scary start to his morning, and Green said it’s an excellent reminder for other residents to stay alert.The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has a helpline to report bear behavior in the area.
