Good thing she had a security camera recording, cause people wouldn't believe that story of her pushing a grown bear 🤣🤣

[frankiethefrog]

That was extremely stupid and reckless.... she should of known how dangerous teenage girls can be. Very irresponsible of the bear if you ask me.

Everyone was brave in this video. The dogs wanted to protect the girl, the bear wanted to protect her cubs, and woman wanted to save her dogs.

No one did anything wrong and everyone got to walk away. Truly the best way this could have ended.

Mother Bear save her Cubs and Girl save her Dogs. Happy Ending.

The bear filed a complaint at the police station: "I was just walking with my kids and this crazy woman attacked me. Pushed me of the wall 😁😂

If she's this protective of her dogs, imagine when she becomes a mother. She is one brave, & fierce young woman!

[freetimejoe]

This girl literally goes beast mode and outbeasts the bear. Momma bear was just doing her job, and so did dog mom. Glad all survived without injury.

She is an absolute Savage and went into straight terminator mode. Props to her. I'm proud.

[valeriewallander]

That was simultaneously brave and insane of that kid!

[dirtbikesnstuff]

I can’t tell who was more shocked the bear or the woman! Don’t mess with her doggos!

[christytaylor]

She's lucky the bear retreated. Momma bear's with cubs are on a whole different plane of vicious usually.

When you love something nothing can stop you

Pretty incredible how she still managed to look badass wearing that old grandma dress

[sreek]

If there is a zombie outbreak, I'm running to her house.

[randallspence]

She's protecting her dogs, imagine if she had to protect her kids one day.!that's amazing

When your entire team is dumb as a brick and you have to carry extra hard.

[laurenhall]

That's a true "Dog Mom!" I think the "Bear Mom, " was in more shock that "Dog Mom" went after her. Lol 😆 🤣 😂 Mom is a Mom, in any species.

The real scary thing about this situation is it looks like this is in a neighborhood within city limits, the more we build and encroach on their territory the more encounters with wild animals like this will become more prevalent.

Bear had cubs with her. Dogs and lady are so lucky.

[deepakp]

That was honorable fight from both parties. Both parties agreed to retreat after gruesome fight.
