To defend his pets, a Florida guy goes head to head with a black bear!
This is the horrifying moment a man on his veranda in Daytona Beach, Florida came face to face with a black bear. The big beast barged in and attempted to attack one of the dogs, but the courageous owner beat the bear off without hesitation.
He miraculously escaped with only a few scratches, but his dogs and the bear were both unharmed. A Ring camera captured this remarkable event.
It was just a quiet evening for Walter Hickox who was on his porch with his dogs. But all of a sudden, a black bear just climbed over the terrace’s tiny wooden gate and nearly got the man’s 12-year-old dachshund, Pepper.
The man, who’s standing near the security camera, has an incredible reaction. Without a second thought, he jumped in and fight off the wild beast with his bare hands.
Walter managed to force the black bear outdoors after the goosebump encounter lasted only a few seconds. He then took a wooden seat and placed it in front of the front door. The guy suffered just minor injuries as a result of the spectacular encounter, but happily, none of his dogs were injured.
“Not a lot went through my thoughts at the moment,” Walter told WFTV, “other than what would happen if he got past me and into the home where the rest of my dogs and my wife were.”
Here’s a video of the moment:
The man is now considering to install a solid door, instead of that wooden gate, to avoid situations like this in the future.
