Punches #bear in nose to save pet #dachshund.                                    Strong Alaskan woman not named #Palin.

         A 22-year-old Alaska woman said on Wednesday she punched a black bear in the face to save her small dog from being carried off and possibly eaten.                                                                                                             Juneau resident Brooke Collins said she hit the bear Sunday night to save the life of her dachshund, Fudge. She said she discovered the bear crouched down, clutching Fudge in its paws and biting the back of the dog’s neck.                                                                                 “It had her kind of like when they eat salmon,” Collins said. “I was freaking out. I was screaming at it. My dog was screaming. I ran up to it … I just punched it right in the snout and it let go.”  

        As for Fudge, she’s staying indoors for now.

    

“When a dog gets a bone, he doesn't go out and make a down payment on a bigger bone. He buries the one he's got. Thus, save.”   #Will #Rogers
