The US teen says she was 'not in her right mind' when she shoved the bear to protect their family dogs.


Would you fight off a bear to save your pets?

Well one 17-year-old American teenager girl, bravely answered yes. A surveillance camera facing the garden of a home in California shows a bear with its two cubs climbing the wall. Quickly, four dogs go for the attack after seeing them.

The bear attacks the dogs as the teen runs and shoves the bear off the wall and grabs a dog before running back into the house.

The original video was shared on TikTok earlier this week. The woman who shared it is the teen’s cousin, Brenda. She captioned it: “My cousin Hailey yeeted a bear off her fence today and saved her dogs. How was your Memorial Day?!”
