We Need To Stop Meeting Like This...

The donkey takes a moment to catch his breath as Chade leaps on to the bear’s back. Oscar gives him an encouraging shout of, “You got this kid!” Suddenly, the huge bear is rising up, threating to squish the pup between its body and the wall. Oscar is already moving and Nugget starts making a racket in hopes to get the beast’s attention. Chade releases his hold and the donkey barrels into the bear’s chest, sending the grizzly off balance. Oscar pulls back a few steps and turns his body so his butt faces the bear. The bear, still dazed from its head wound, has yet to regain its balance.

Too bad.

The donkey rears up slightly before planting his front legs into the ground. Back hooves swing up as Oscar brays loudly, the noise and sudden commotion confusing the grizzly. Small hooves connect with the creature’s throat and loud gurgling sound fills the mine. Oscar flees to a safe distance to turns to see and bear stumble forward, paws swinging wildly at air. Blood pours from its mouth and Oscar realizes that its throat has collapsed. Wincing in sympathy, he calls out to Chade, “All yours kid!”
