Lynn Kelly, 64, slugged the bear in the face after it emerged out of the woods that border her Porter backyard in hot pursuit of her dog, the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife said.
A Maine woman squared up with a black bear Friday and walked away with a minor wound that required stitches.
The pooch had darted into the trees frantically barking before it was chased out — an action Kelly believes the pup made in an attempt to save her from the potential predator. The dog ran into the trees before it was chased out — as the woman said the canine was trying to save her from the bear.“He was a foot taller than I was and coming at me … I tried to make myself as big as I could and was screaming and yelling,” KellyKelly bravely punched the bear in the nose, a move not recommended by wildlife officials.The bear briefly latched onto her right wrist, leaving shallow puncture wounds, before retreating to the safety of the woods.
