A California man was bitten when he confronted a bear that had attacked his dog. Officers tranquilized the bear and the man and dog are both expected to survive.
A Southern California man proved his love for his dog when he defended it from a bear attack, according to police.
The small mixed-breed dog had confronted a bear cub that wandered into the yard on Hermosa Avenue in Sierra Madre, Hunt said. When the mama bear saw the dog acting aggressively toward the cub, it attacked it. The mama bear then focused her attention on the man, swiping him in both his calves and biting him just below his right knee, Hunt said.
Officers from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife were able to find the bears and tranquilize them, Hunt said.The bears were taken to one of the department's permitted facilities, where they'll remain until the investigation is complete, George Struble, assistant chief for California Fish and Wildlife, told ABC News.
