In an incredible act of courage, a 17-year-old girl from California fought off a bear with her bare hands, to protect the family’s dogs. A scene no one would ever believed, if it wasn’t captured on camera!
Three dogs approach them and begin to back away from a mother bear and her two cubs who are strolling on a wall in a residential area of Bradbury, Southern California. As their mother attempted to shield the cubs from the dogs, the cubs became frightened, and at one point, the mother grabbed one of the dogs by the vest.
Hailey Morinico who was inside the house, heard the dogs barking and jumped into action without a second thought.
She bravely rushed right to the bear, pushed her over the wall and saved her tiny dog. Later she said she didn’t realized it was actually a bear, until she pushed her over the edge.
The girl admitted, “Honestly, I didn’t realize it was a bear until just after I shoved her. I don’t have much time to think at that time. I pushed the bear because I thought, “It’s an animal, and it’s stealing my child.” When I see the bear, my first thought is to push it off the ledge it is perched on in the hopes that it would let my dog go. And it functions somehow.
The amazing scene was caught on tape by the home security camera, and the video quickly went viral. Really, it is simple to understand why. Watch the teen’s brave action here:
