Don't Feed The Bears

SHIBA KLEIN

Thankfully the boy listened, moving towards the exit but there was no time to breathe a sigh of relief as the movement caught the bears attention and it lunged to swipe at the retreating pup. She lunged forward, snapping her teeth and letting out a growl to pull the attention back to her. Her heart beat frantically as she growled, the sound of a small body slipping reached her ears. She was at a loss for what to do, but before long, someone else approached. She didn’t see who it was at first, the large figure lunging in and attacking the bear before she could fully register what was happening.

The man’s voice commanding the pup to go pulled her back to reality, and she watched the bear closely, ready to attack if needed. She was certainly not a fighter, but having another adult in there with her gave her a slight edge of confidence that she might not have otherwise had. She was fully prepared to follow the man's lead, assuming he had a better idea of how to handle the situation than she did. The last thing she wanted was to further provoke the bear if there was a chance it might back down and leave them alone, but turning her back on the larger predator also seemed like a very bad idea.
