Brooke Collins from Juneau, Alaska risked her life on the 28th Aug for her dog Fudge (daschund) who was being attacked at by a black bear that had picked up her dog.Brooke Collins, 22 from Alaska had left her two dogs out to play in her backyard when she heard barking from her dogs. A black bear that had been sighted in their neighbourhood recently had picked up her dog, Fudge and had it pinned to the floor.
Brooke said, "I remembered hearing that if you punch a shark in the nose it'll go away, and so i punched it in the nose". "I love my dog. Nobody could watch their pet die."
She then picked up Fudge who is 12 years old and ran inside her home, even after receiving some minor injuries; a bite on her chin from a distressed Fudge and a cut on her finger from the bear.
"I don't know whether it was the claw or a tooth, or what, it just happened so fast" said Collins.
Collin's boyfriend said that the bear seemed shocked after being hit on the nose by Brooke. He then chased the bear into the woods to avoid any more confrontations from the grizzly visitor.
Many of Brooke's close family and friends have said that confronting the bear was a silly move, whereas many people on Facebook have said that her actions to save her dog were heroic.
