Kristen Savage who is a resident of Longwood Florida was walking with her male dog Ringo who is a small mixed breed chihuahua walking back to her home on Friday 25 when she had a close encounter with a black bear who approached her since the bear was hungry.
Kristen is lucky that the black bear did not harm her dog or herself during the short time that they had meeting each other when Kristen who had a bag of cookies on her possession that she used to hit the bear on its head before Kristen hurled the bag of cookies at the bear when the bear fled the area on Friday evening.
Kristen only suffered a small scrape on her leg when she fell to the ground while she was protecting her dog from being attacked by the bear. Otherwise Kristen and her dog are okay.
Kristen had the bag of cookies in her possession since her mom lives in the same neighborhood to give to Kristen's children.

I confess that I feel sorry for the animals. We are taking all their habitat. During the quarantine during the covid pandemia, a young puma decided to take a walk at my daughter´s block. She had to sleep even with her chicken inside until it was caught the next day.

@Deepizzaguy It is amazing how my city has grown during my lifetime. The place where I live now was country. Not any more.

I know how you feel since animals are being kicked out of their homes.

That is true since Kristen had to get rid of the bear by use of a paper bag with cookies.

Bears are getting too close for comfort, and after this incident, maybe everyone in that area, will carry a bag of biscuits, or cookies, with them whenever they go out for a walk.

Better safe than sorry dealing with bears.

I am in agreement with you since messing with a bear is dangerous.
