Brave Maine Woman Fights Off Bear to Protect Her Dog

A 64-year-old woman in Maine confronted a black bear that was chasing her dog by standing tall and punching the bear in the nose. The bear bit her hand and punctured her wrist before running away. The woman was treated for puncture wounds. The bear had been spotted eating bird seeds in nearby yards prior to the incident, and the wildlife department has set traps to capture it. Residents are urged to remove potential wildlife attractants from their yards and to keep their distance from bears.
