Info from Licensor: "2 weeks ago-ish, I let my dogs out and they darted towards the backyard, barking. I went to investigate and saw a black bear chasing my dogs and then charging towards me. I ran back to the house and stuck my head out of the sliding glass door to yell for my dogs. Realizing the bear was only about 15 ft away from me, I screamed. I was shocked because it’s very unusual for California bears to be that aggressive. Mama Bears use the trees in our yard to teach her cubs how to climb. I assume my dogs chased after some cubs and Mama Bear wanted to make sure she didn’t approve. My American Bully, Duchess, got claw marks on her backside but the injuries were not serious. The Cockapoo, was unharmed."
