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?!”

Unbelievably Hailey only ended up with a sprained and grazed finger and all their family dogs are okay.
Twitter users said if they were placed in a similar situation they wouldn’t know what to do. Actor Chris Evans reacting to Hailey’s actions, said she had no hesitation.
This is insane. Zero hesitation. https://t.co/3HTFuVjAbj

I would absolutely protect my dogs like Hailey did – I once chased away a hippo. But I keep thinking Poor Bear – she is protecting two small cubs from the dogs and what the heck is she doing in the suburbs?! I hope the bear doesn’t get shot because of this video ????
