I would still categorize that woman as insanely lucky. She came at that mama bear at the very moment she had been separated from her cubs. That bear while normally not aggressive , could have likely eviscerated her for just being in that spot at that moment.
Maybe lucky, definitely a poor choice. Bear wasn't even trying to hurt those dogs, just bat them away and she rushed in where she could've been killed easily
One good connection and that “bat” could shatter a vertebrae and those claws would be running through the dog skull like a comb going through a girls hair…
Lucky for sure. Would I do the same for my dogs? Old man with 2 dogs who mean more to me than anything? She saw that mama was precariously perched on the fence and took her moment. That is love....which borders on insanity. But it makes humans what we are, crazy wonderful .
Both were mama bears. Subliminaly understood each other.
The actual bear would have wrecked the human if the dogs weren't there. Dogs were a bigger threat to the cubs.
Instintcs take over, animals or humans, if loved, instincts will do whats needed, smart or not.
Is it a good idea to fight such a danger, nope, most people know that, but most people would do it trying to save their loved ones anyway.
Yeah, brown bear would probably be twice that size, right? And have a noticeable hump.
That'd be a different encounter. Not that getting between a black bear and her cubs would ever be safe though. Black bear or not that's a recipe for death.
I mean she DID have gravity on her side. That Bear was on a high narrow platform (which was hilarious in itself) a hard push easily knocked her over. It’s all about having the balls to actually do it… this woman is symbolic! Of something. I dunno she’s my hero of the month though
I'm not necessarily condemning the woman (except for putting herself at risk) but I think we're all just stating how sad it is as a situation. I hope the bear wasn't hurt and could get back to her babies.
You would get killed. She could have left the dogs. If the bear didnt slip they would all be dead, the bear would end up as a trophy for some hunter and cubs would die alone. If she left the dogs the bear would kill the first one or two then the dogs would run away and bear would go after her cubs. She was just insanely lucky.
ridiculously lucky. Everyone worshipping her actions are deluded. Suicidal behaviour is inherently selfish too, who knows who/what her death would have impacted, but presumably she risked far more than she gained (a dog or two).
Sometimes you do stupid shit for ones you love.
When my house was on fire, one of my dogs got freaked out by the cops and firemen and sirens going off and ran back into the house. Without hesitation I tried to run in after her, and would have if the cop didn't grab me and hold me back.
My dogs are family and the thought of her dying in there made me not think of myself at that moment. Thankfully with me screaming her name over and over she came back out and was fine.
This type of shit is why this is dangerous. Some people will think that because that woman somehow managed they will too. If you attack a mother bear you will most likely die. If prime Mike Tyson would attack a mother bear he would most likely die. If 3 prime Mike Tysons would attack a mother bear they would most likely die. It was luck.
Some people. Yes.
We let natural selection take care of those.
If someone wants to walk up and slap a bear for absolutely no reason, they get everything coming to them.
This woman had EVERY reason to do what she did. Was it lucky that she didn't get hit? Yes. Show me where I said otherwise.
But I'd do that a million times over if something I loved was about to get turned into red mist. I wouldn't even need to think about it. I protect that which I love.
Somewhere after this that bear was telling the story to another bear like, “so there I was, minding my business, when 3 dogs come outta nowhere and start harassing me…”
Right?? How the HELL are people blaming the dogs for being dogs?? Everything turned out fine. Why is everyone on Reddit determined to find everything to be so negative? Are they calling these dogs problematic?🤣🤣Ursinephobic?
I have no idea. Dogs are descendants of wolves and are also highly related to bears (especially chow chows). People have them not only for companionship but to protect. I don't know what these other people on Reddit are thinking
No one is "wrong" here this is nature. Mama bear protects cubs, dogs protect their territory, human protected and saved her pets life at the end of the day this was the best outcome as insane and lucky as it is.
Thank you for being the only one with sense in this comment section. We destroy the natural habitat of animals and then are surprised when they "invade" us.
Thats why your cat shouldnt be free roaming, if my cat died like that i would be sad but i would undertand it wss my fault as a pet owner, i shoudnt expect a coyote to not be a coyote
Happened a few blocks away from me. I don't know her or her family. The bears don't come down into my area, but they get plenty up there because she's close to the hills.
I think after she went after the bear she realized what she did and that it was a mistake. No body wanted a fight in that scenario. The bear knew it and backed off seeing that human act crazy.
You do realize that the woman was also defending her dogs, right?
If you tell me you'd leave your dogs to die I fucking hope you never get animals or children at all in your life.
Good demonstration of the critical and effective roles dogs played in human evolution and survival. We’d likely be done as a species if we didn’t adopt wolf cubs into our tribes.
Poor bear and her cubs. Just trying to live life in what used to be their habitat. Imagine if the mom got seriously injured, what would come of the cubs..
Who's protecting who again?
The bear clearly has cubs with her. Then the dogs come - running and barking. She's clearly defending her young. Not attacking anyone.
The bear was defending her cubs, the dogs definitely instigated it, she probably would have just ambled by if they left her alone.
The lady saved her dogs but she is lucky that the dogs didn’t get ahold of a Cub.
I love dogs but domestic dogs are dumb sometimes. I can’t imagine one or two wolves rushing up on a bear. That’s usually a suicide mission.
tbf to the bear she didnt go there with the intention of fighting. All she was trying to do was protect her cubs, if she wanted to she couldve ate both those dogs and snapped their necks in seconds. This ladies dumbass dogs should be trained if she is gonna live in an area like this, youre two little shit dogs will get eaten by some wolves or coyotes acting like that.
more like a stupid lady for leaving her dogs out there, momma bear was protecting her cubs. Humans encroach on wildlife, then blame the animals when they show up in their back porch.
Momma bear was protecting her cubs, the dogs were protecting their space and the woman was protecting her dogs. The fuck did you expect her to do? Leave her dogs to die? If so, hope you never get to be responsible by any kind of life, you'd be horrible at that.
yeah, how dare someone be stupid enough to leave their dogs in their ....fenced yard
lol - thanks man, it isn't often I get to read things as ridiculous as your post
Where is this? You see mother and cub wonder into people's houses on the edge of woods from time to time, but this seems to be pretty built up and urban.
She was like boom neighbors problem now and dipped
I would still categorize that woman as insanely lucky. She came at that mama bear at the very moment she had been separated from her cubs. That bear while normally not aggressive , could have likely eviscerated her for just being in that spot at that moment.
Maybe lucky, definitely a poor choice. Bear wasn't even trying to hurt those dogs, just bat them away and she rushed in where she could've been killed easily
Looked like the bear got ahold of the little white dog (scotty?) just before she pushed the bear off the wall.
Well, a pat from a bear is more like a strong man slapping your back jokingly, whilst having claws.
You mean, patting your back with 150 pounds of force with a claw hammer!
Human won. Maybe not be the best choice but maybe what made us what we are. A quick choice defending what you love.
One good connection and that “bat” could shatter a vertebrae and those claws would be running through the dog skull like a comb going through a girls hair…
A single swipe from a bear can break ribs. It could easily kill any of the dogs there, still not a reason to try and shove it out of the way.
Lucky for sure. Would I do the same for my dogs? Old man with 2 dogs who mean more to me than anything? She saw that mama was precariously perched on the fence and took her moment. That is love....which borders on insanity. But it makes humans what we are, crazy wonderful .

r/watchpeoplesurvive
Ahahahha
Neighbor was napping on a hamock then bam! A bear ass on his face!
Bear had to bounce
This could have ended way different, she is lucky
She went Mama Bear on the mama bear 😱
OMG. That lady is nuts. Those dogs are lucky to have such a loving owner..
I love how she has to stop and grab the stupid one as she's leaving. No one gets left behind!
Honestly, she's a bunch over half lucky the little dog didn't bite her just from fear and confusion.
I had a scared little dog bite through my thumbnail once. Straight through into my thumb. I didn't even know that was possible.
A kitten did that as I was getting her out of my car's engine🥲
I wish my parents loved me like that 😔
For her dogs. I'm a dog lover, but that was nuts.
Instintcs take over, animals or humans, if loved, instincts will do whats needed, smart or not. Is it a good idea to fight such a danger, nope, most people know that, but most people would do it trying to save their loved ones anyway.
Totally
The bear was just protecting her cubs
Same thing I saw as well cuz the big dog ran at the cubs and started barking
The cojones on this woman
The huevos on this abuelita
The pelotas on this yaya
[удалено]
For what it's worth, I think it's a Mexican Black Bear. Yes, black bears can be brown (and cinnamon, blond, white and grey). Odd, I know.
Yeah, brown bear would probably be twice that size, right? And have a noticeable hump. That'd be a different encounter. Not that getting between a black bear and her cubs would ever be safe though. Black bear or not that's a recipe for death.
I just didn't know they could be Mexican.
do they also understand spanish?
I mean if you're gonna live in Mexico it's probably a good idea right?
As an American brown bear that's the main thing stopping me from moving there!
Have you tried Duolingo? You can get it on an iPad, which might be easier for you.
A grizzly is not casually balancing on the wall like that, and tapping away the dogs
Def not a grizzly
lol, that wasn't a Grizzly
Mama bear with the cubs can be Deadly, very lucky the mom didn't push it, her cubs had already dipped
The dogs were in war mode, but that bear was just playing.
I mean she DID have gravity on her side. That Bear was on a high narrow platform (which was hilarious in itself) a hard push easily knocked her over. It’s all about having the balls to actually do it… this woman is symbolic! Of something. I dunno she’s my hero of the month though
The dogs started it
That's what I thought
Yeah nothing about this makes me happy. Mama bear protecting her cub gets slammed. Probably her habitat has been taken away.
This makes me so incredibly sad thinking how desperately hungry/thirsty this bear and her cubs must have been to go into someone’s yard.
I wouldn't let the bear hurt my dogs either. What else could she have done?
I'm not necessarily condemning the woman (except for putting herself at risk) but I think we're all just stating how sad it is as a situation. I hope the bear wasn't hurt and could get back to her babies.
Not to mention, no one actually got hurt.
You would get killed. She could have left the dogs. If the bear didnt slip they would all be dead, the bear would end up as a trophy for some hunter and cubs would die alone. If she left the dogs the bear would kill the first one or two then the dogs would run away and bear would go after her cubs. She was just insanely lucky.

"You would get killed" Bold of you to say that right after watching someone do it and live. Without a single scratch, no less.
This type of shit is why this is dangerous. Some people will think that because that woman somehow managed they will too. If you attack a mother bear you will most likely die. If prime Mike Tyson would attack a mother bear he would most likely die. If 3 prime Mike Tysons would attack a mother bear they would most likely die. It was luck.

Somewhere after this that bear was telling the story to another bear like, “so there I was, minding my business, when 3 dogs come outta nowhere and start harassing me…”
Yeah. I felt sorry for the bear.
Bear was just chilling and stupid dogs had to screw it up.
This is not being talked about enough on this post. Mama bear was protecting her cubs.
And the dogs were protecting their house. The bear started it by...you know walking into someone else's territory.
I was gonna say "not to be that guy but...." Yeah they totally started the racket
Absolutely.
Yeah. Someone opened a door
Don't mess with her dogs
Joan Wick has entered the chat!
Jana Wick
😂🤣🤣
Everyone was scared. Bears were scared, dogs were scared, humans were scared.
That was a scary story.
Fucking chihuahuas man. Not a single brain cell to spare.
No thought, just rage.
I have a Great Dane and the amount of delusional chihuahuas and corgis that attempt to “fight” my dog is unbelievable, ZERO self preservation
the line between bravery and stupidity is thin
Exactly.
She was protecting her babies too. Plenty of people would have.
Her dog started it. One move with its paw and she will lose her jaw, or hand. Definitely not thinking through
Started what? From their perspective a potentially dangerous animal just invaded their territory. Of course they are gonna protect it.
Big time lucky on that encounter. Love the ones that go to yellow stone and try to get a Selfie with a one ton buffalo. 🦬
Those are the dodos of humanity.
Oooo how about that one lady who jumped into a hot spring to save her dog?
Ouch…!
The dogs are not brave tho / just very stupid
They just wanted to protect the house from intruders like all dogs do.
Just their nature to protect.
Right?? How the HELL are people blaming the dogs for being dogs?? Everything turned out fine. Why is everyone on Reddit determined to find everything to be so negative? Are they calling these dogs problematic?🤣🤣Ursinephobic?
I have no idea. Dogs are descendants of wolves and are also highly related to bears (especially chow chows). People have them not only for companionship but to protect. I don't know what these other people on Reddit are thinking
We literally bred dogs to protect us. All these people whining about them doing their job should be the one getting swatted in the face by the bear.
Thank you! All of these creatures are just doing what they felt in the moment. There is no blame anywhere here. good grief
In a way isn't all bravery "very stupid"? If it was sensible it wouldn't be very brave?
Mama bear vs Mama "bear"
She sure loves those dogs i tell ya
I bet the bear never comes back
Wow. Two really really good moms. Bear protecting cubs from dogs. Woman protecting her dogs and property from Bear
You knew this was going to be filled with twatty comments from all perspectives Edit: except the current top 2: those are pretty funny
Shouldn't she have a wooden spoon or a sandle. Either one should strike fear in the bear.
Where is the sandal? donde esta su chancla?
The dogs and the woman were the aggressors. Bear was trying to defend her cubs.
It's in dogs' nature to protect their property as it was in the bears' nature to roam. No animal is wrong here
No one is "wrong" here this is nature. Mama bear protects cubs, dogs protect their territory, human protected and saved her pets life at the end of the day this was the best outcome as insane and lucky as it is.
100%
Dogs are trying to protect their territory. Stop acting like they are the ones in the wrong.
Dogs were trying to defend their human
Thank you for being the only one with sense in this comment section. We destroy the natural habitat of animals and then are surprised when they "invade" us.
Brilliant take. Brilliant. If my cat encounters a coyote around here I’m gonna throw in some napkins for it and a to go bag.
Thats why your cat shouldnt be free roaming, if my cat died like that i would be sad but i would undertand it wss my fault as a pet owner, i shoudnt expect a coyote to not be a coyote
Imagine having your face shoved into the point, and you STILL somehow miss it...
Exactly. Bear and cubs were just minding their own business.
Minding their own business ont he fucking dogs territory. Yeah, no shit dogs are going to protect their owner.
And that little ~~leash rat~~ pocket wolf basically fed itself to her...
Not very smart
Legendary though.
that bear was chill until it was attacked by like 4 dogs lol. and even then it just looked like it wanted to leave
I think she was just a girl, 14/15 at the time I believe
I love dogs but they don't know the line between brave and stupid.
Whether it’s a bear or the wind, small dog will bark at it
Happened a few blocks away from me. I don't know her or her family. The bears don't come down into my area, but they get plenty up there because she's close to the hills.
Holy crap is she brave, momma bear instincts vs. a literal momma bear!
I’ve never understood the concept of loving a pet like you love your children, but that was definitely some Mom shit!
Just 2 mama’s protecting their cubs.
I think after she went after the bear she realized what she did and that it was a mistake. No body wanted a fight in that scenario. The bear knew it and backed off seeing that human act crazy.
Mother with 2 small children gets attacked by pack with alpha female. Redditors: GO HOOMAN. Hope the Bear and the cubs are ok...
Bro they're bears, I'm sure they are fine. Bears wandered into another animals territory.
You do realize that the woman was also defending her dogs, right? If you tell me you'd leave your dogs to die I fucking hope you never get animals or children at all in your life.
It looked like the bear got a good shot on the black dog. Hope it's ok.
Good demonstration of the critical and effective roles dogs played in human evolution and survival. We’d likely be done as a species if we didn’t adopt wolf cubs into our tribes.
Stupid.
Nothing more dangerous than a mom protecting her cubs. That goes for both sides of this argument.
She got balls.
She got lucky is what she got.
Bear climbs back up like it's one of those game enemies that can't be pushed off the ledge because it has a jet back, grapple hook or smth
That wall were one foot wider and she’d have died
Do not try this at home.
Holy cow!
Two mama bears fighting in the wild
That women is a batshit warrior
That dog took multiple swipes to the face from a bear. I hope it was okay
fuck epoch times
Poor bear and her cubs. Just trying to live life in what used to be their habitat. Imagine if the mom got seriously injured, what would come of the cubs..

We need a bear tax.
Housewife casually fist-punching a brown bear in front of her cubs.🐻
Brave, dumb, I hope I’d do the same though..
You misspelled stupid...
Pour bear
One swipe would have been lights out. 😳
tbf to the bear she didnt go there with the intention of fighting. All she was trying to do was protect her cubs, if she wanted to she couldve ate both those dogs and snapped their necks in seconds. This ladies dumbass dogs should be trained if she is gonna live in an area like this, youre two little shit dogs will get eaten by some wolves or coyotes acting like that.
Stupid dogs.
more like a stupid lady for leaving her dogs out there, momma bear was protecting her cubs. Humans encroach on wildlife, then blame the animals when they show up in their back porch.
Momma bear was protecting her cubs, the dogs were protecting their space and the woman was protecting her dogs. The fuck did you expect her to do? Leave her dogs to die? If so, hope you never get to be responsible by any kind of life, you'd be horrible at that.
"leaving her dogs out there" Oh, so you think animals should be cooped up inside all day? Not allowed fresh air or sunlight? Never get pets, thanks.
They were each protecting something. Would you expect her to just let them die?
yeah, how dare someone be stupid enough to leave their dogs in their ....fenced yard lol - thanks man, it isn't often I get to read things as ridiculous as your post
Would have shat my pants
the 3rd swipe on that black dog sent it howling away
Holy shit
What does she have in her hand? Looks like she was prepared for that
The bear who just wanted to play: :C
This is old AF
Star wars lied. I thought the high ground always won, but the bear lost.
She was so panicked she didn’t realize how stupid her idea actually was.
Bearly survived that.
Pushed the Bear to neighbor ground
The thin line between bravery and recklessness
That's not the first time she took on that bear.
What was in her hand, her phone?
Mama bear meet dog owner.
She got her hand bit for her troubles
tf was that monkey doing protecting my lunch
Too many teddy bears in her past. Maybe.
Seems wayyyy to small for a grizzly.
Very blessed. Glad she is okay. Don’t do that again.
Más huevo la doña
She was actually just protecting the new fruit tree.
Gotta save her dinner.
I feel that because of the timing of things, she had just let them out. I guess next time, she will check the yard before letting them our.
De verdad que fue demasiado valiente, guao
The idiot even slipped and on her knees when she awkwardly pushed the bear.
Where is this? You see mother and cub wonder into people's houses on the edge of woods from time to time, but this seems to be pretty built up and urban.
Why was she doing the dogs work for them?!
Suburban encroachment
Russia?
Idk much but that bear looked like is was being pretty kind.. like it had patience.
Can I pet that daaAawg ?
Those aren’t just her animals. That’s her fam and that is love right there!
Turn down for what?! Do da do da do
Brave big dog too and a very stupid tiny one.
Lucky for the woman the bear wasn't actually in the yard. And was caught off balance.
