There is a saying that "Dogs are the best friend of man" since a male Golden Labrador Retriever who is eight years male dog named Jake who chased away a bear who was near a four year old boy named Gavin Grant who lives with his relatives in Sherman Connecticut on Saturday at their home. Gregory Grant who is the father of Gavin who did record the incident which was covered by the media in Connecticut reward Jake by giving him a bath as well as getting treats and ice cream. The bear ran away from the Grant home without being harmed or harming the child in the incident. Link is upi.com/402169159183 via @upi

I'm delighted that nobody was harmed. Brave dog. This brings back memories for me- I believe I told you about my bull incident and my own brave dog named Laddie.

You are right since the four year old boy could have been killed by the bear.
