I wouldn't happily trek through bear country without at least bear spray, and I would prefer to take a shotgun loaded with slugs along with a powerful pistol. If there's a phobia that equates to fear of bears, though, I'm sure I have it so there you go. Sorry mister bear, but I'm the the top predator, okay?

I'm angry at this article because it doesn't mention whether or not the dog was OK. According to that foul monstrosity known as Wikipedia, the Staffordshire terrier was originally bred for bull and bear baiting. I wonder if Mr. Tilley chose the breed for this reason.
