Man, 86, Barks to Scare Away Bear
AOL News
An 86-year-old California man thought he was being robbed when he woke to a strange noise coming from his kitchen in the wee hours of Thursday morning, the Auburn Journal reported.
It turns out, the mysterious figure lurking there was not a burglar, but a bear.
The animal, apparently searching for a little late-night snack, had scratched through a screen window to squeeze its way inside.
Quick-thinking homeowner Gus Hetland decided on his course of action. "I just let out a loud sound like a dog barking and the bear went out the window so fast," he told the paper.
The apparently spooked animal scrammed, leaving behind the shredded window screen and some pine needles.
That old man's bark is way worse than his bite. Of course he doesn't have his own teeth anymore. Zinger! This old man reminds me a lot of myself. One time I was jogging around the old neighborhood in Lubbock and I was approached by three vicious rotwillers. Immediately I knew running wasn't an option because my last 40 time was about a 8.6. I thought about kicking one but I figured the other two would eat me so I just started barking like a madman and they backed away. If it would have been three bears I probably would have shat myself and cried.
