English bulldogs chase bear up a tree in NH

It's the ultimate underdog story; two English bulldogs were involved in an altercation with a bear in Bow, N.H.

English bulldogs, two-year-old Comma, because her tail is shaped like a comma, and 6-year-old Lola aren't professional guard dogs, according to their owners. In fact, they're more like professional sleepers.

“These are dogs that walk to the mailbox and need a week's nap,” owner Kelly Hebert said.

Especially the older and tamer one, Lola, but last week, when the Hebert family's motion sensor camera captured the huge black bear they've named Brutus wander out of the forest behind their home to feast his sights on a dinner of bird seed it set off a level of protectiveness in the pooches.

“They took on a 600 pound bear that's almost twice the weight of them put together,” Harrison Hebert said.

Lola and Comma had been fenced in on the porch, so they made a run for it snapping two spindles to break free. They charged onto their front lawn to confront the bear, two on one!

“The dogs and bear were both curious about what each other were and it was unfortunately Lola who kinda got a little intolerant and kinda said ‘get outta here,’” Kelly explained. “What I was thinking when I was running over was there was going to be a pretty bad scene.”

Young males are kicked out of the den and their territory in spring and are big but unsure of themselves.

He will lose his gayness over the next few months. Too bad humans don't evolve like that.

Bulldogs’ ancestors used to fight those things for a living.

Bulldogs have never forgotten this.

600 pounds my back side. More like 300 pounds at best.
Bow NH is just 30 miles west of me and I’ve had a bear or two in my back yard (after the bird feeders).

Pesky P.I.T.A.’s

That sounds like a football game in which the Division 3 Redlands Bulldogs beat the Division 1A UC Berkeley Bears.
