I wouldn't want to fight an agry 86 lb dog any more than I would an angry 86 pound bear.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Authorities cut open a slain bear and found a shoe lost by a Florida man while fighting off a bear that attacked his 8-year-old son in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
The footwear was discovered in the black bear's stomach during a necropsy at the University of Tennessee Veterinary Medical Center, Smokies spokeswoman Nancy Gray said Monday.

John Pala, a 43-year-old health insurance salesman from Boca Raton with no backwoods experience, literally ran out of his shoes racing to the aid of his young son Evan when the bear pounced on the boy during a day hike Aug. 11 along the popular Rainbow Falls trail.

Rangers killed the suspected bear a few hours later in the same place where the Pala family was attacked. They shot the animal when it charged them. One of Pala's shoes was found nearby.

Authorities said the attack was unprovoked, though Pala said their clothes might have smelled like fried chicken from a meal an hour earlier.

Smells like chicken?
Sneakers.
The OTHER white meat.
Sounds like a punch line for a joke.
When do you know you have shot the right bear .... (or some such)
yeah...he could have parleyed that policy
Q: What are you tying your shoes for. You cant out run a bear.
A: I only have to out run YOU!
“Twice, Pala grabbed the young male bear’s face, pulled its mouth apart and pushed the 86-pound animal away before Evan finally escaped.”
86 lbs. of angry bruin. My dog weighed more than that.
Davey Crockett he aint
A: I only have to out run YOU!
Q: Hey, why are you gathering those pointy rocks?
A: You'll find out.
Throw John Edwards in there and you’ve got a hell of a joke.
Still, and even though I wouldn’t expect anything less from a father, props to him for rushing into battle a bear.
Must have been Bear Jordans...
The punch line for the bear joke I remember is "the Czech is in the male."
...grizzly scat smells like pepper and has little bells in it.

Sounds like he was more hungry than angry. I mean, he ate the shoe.
I didn’t stand between my dog and his Alpo.
Nice looking lady Bruins!
Demand that the Park Service allow the carry of personal weapons in National Parks. A hand gun would have been the ultimate prop for this father.
You can’t have your gun in a national park?! What kind of stupidity is that?
We’re talking about bears, and you show a pic of chicks?
Thank you!
