A Florida woman had a scary run-in with a black bear and only got away unscathed because she fought the animal off with a bag of cookies.
Kristen Savage was out for a walk with her chihuahua, Ringo, when she stopped to look at a bird she saw in a tree. But then something suddenly came at her leg and she thought it was a dog that was off-leash. But then she realized it was large head and before she knew it, a bear was going after Ringo. At one point, the bear had the tiny dog in her mouth, but let go. Kristen lifted the 13-pound dog over her head to keep him away from the bear and then swung a bag of cookies she had with her at the bear's head, which seemed to frighten it off.
Kristen says, "I kind of feel bad, but I smacked the bear across the face with a bag of cookies and I threw them at her face." Luckily, no one was hurt. (WESH-TV Orlando)
