FIERCE
Tiger ‘Mom’ Socks Bear To Save Dog
TWENTY-TWO YEAR OLD BROOKE COLLINS IS ONE FIERCE MOMMA, even if she’s only mom to a dachshund, Fudge.
Collins of Anchorage, Alaska, punched a black bear in the face Sunday night when she found it with its jaw clamped down on the neck of her pooch.
“It had her kind of like when they eat salmon,” Collins told Reuters Wednesday. “I was freaking out. I was screaming at it. My dog was screaming. I ran up to it … I just punched it right in the snout and it let go.”
Collins’ boyfriend then shooed the stunned bear. Fudge has some nips and is being being kept indoors while his wounds heal.
And may we say congratulations to Collins’ future children for their luck in being born to such a fierce advocate.

Frankly I’d be freaking out too if a bear was thinking of taking my dog (I have a dalmation thank you very much…) off for dinner. Really bears should stick to other life forms when it comes to dinner. But then again this is Alaska and one has to wonder with all the deforestation and the encroaching of city dwellers the bear was only in its mind taking back what it thought was rightly theirs.
