A woman from Florida and her dog escaped from a bear thanks to a bag of cookies

Florida resident Kristen Savage was near her home with her Chihuahua Ringo when a bear suddenly jumped out at them. The woman decided to outwit the animal by taking an unexpected step.

Mrs. Savage said that she and her dog were walking near their home when they encountered the wandering bear. The woman first looked at a tree and looked for a bird, but then saw "something black" approaching her.

"At first I thought it was a dog without a leash, and then I realized it was a giant head," Ms. Savage said, adding that she saw the bear looking closely at her dog.

In response, the woman quickly picked up the dog, began to spin around, and then tried to quickly turn around and run away. However, she tripped and fell, receiving bruises and contusions.

"He came away from us and walked towards the pack. Then he sniffed it, lowered his head and started doing something, and Ringo and I ran to the front door," the woman says.
