Polar Bear Attack

Ed Dyson from St. John’s, Newfoundland has told reporters how he had to defend himself from a polar bear attack at his own home.

Dyson explained how the bear wandered into his yard and attacked his pet dog, the bear threw the dog through the air and then chased it under Dyson’s porch. His first reaction was to beat the bear with a shovel to scare it off, but to no avail. He then went back into his house to fetch his rifle.

Dyson first fired a warning shot into the ground, but he said the bear wasn’t phased and just looked blankly at him. He was forced to fire directly at the bear, and in total had to shoot it three times before it gave up trying to reach the dog and wandered back out of Dyson’s garden.

Seeing bears in the area isn’t all that unusual according to Dyson, but not at such close quarters.

“I’ve seen bears before, but not a bear so close as that. If I had a mind to reach down I could have put my hand on it,” he said.

The dog was fortunately uninjured from it’s encounter.
