Four-way battle between bear, dog, man, woman. All survive

Bear attacks man and dog; wife attacks bear; all survive

A four-way battle involving a man, his wife, their dog and a black bear that burst into their Pennsylvania home in pursuit of the family pet ended with all four bruised and battered and the bear still on the loose.

Wildlife officials said it's rare for a black bear to enter a home, as this one did Monday, but speculation is that the bear is a mother who feared for her cubs' safety after spotting Richard and Angela Moyer's dog in the woods. If the bear is captured, it probably will be relocated away from the rural Oliver Township area of central Pennsylvania where the attack occurred, Jerry Feaser, a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Game Commission, told the local ABC affiliate, WHTM TV.

According to WHTM and other media reports, the brawl began at about 3 a.m. Monday as Richard Moyer heard the pet dog, a pit bull/husky mix, barking outside. He opened the door to let the dog inside, and the bear followed. Thus began a battle that brought Angela Moyer rushing into the living room to find out what was happening.

She found her 6-foot-6, 300-pound husband on the floor, being attacked by the animal. "The bear was on him. Our dog was in the mix with them. I was like, 'This is crazy.' I just reacted," she said. "There was nothing really going through my mind other than 'Oh, my God, we got to get this bear out of here.'"

1. Typical pit-bull apologist. The pit-bull attacks the bear and it's the bear's fault.

5. I had a pit bull beagle mix

He was the sweetest dog I ever had. He never attacked anyone. Pit Bulls have a reputation because of fuckheads that own them that don't know how to treat and handle a dog.

I recommend you not stereotype, even if it is only with dog breeds.


Perhaps you were kidding. I have a really bad week long headache due to a physical injury and your post really pushed some buttons. If you were, in fact, kidding, I apologize.

7. Pit bull beagle mix????

A biscuit thieving murderer?

Seriously though, my neighbor has a beagle. He's the sweetest dog ever. When he's not raiding garbage cans or stealing sandwiches.

6. That makes me sad, no fault of yours I suppose...

But toothless bears have been pitted against vicious pit bulls to make it a better fight. True. Sad, but true.

8. That is pretty sad. And disgusting. I've heard of that.

Sounds like this bear gave more than he got. Glad everyone is OK.

Cane you imagine? What a story for the grand kids.
