When a Minnesota woman saw a bear chasing her dog, Zeus, in her driveway, she didn’t hesitate to instinctively run after the bear and her dog.
In a heart-pounding moment caught on home security camera, Bailey Jacobson was seen running screaming back to her Maple Grove home after being “charged” by the bear.
“Obviously, I was terrified,” Jacobson said. Fox 9 Earlier this month, the couple came across three bears scavenging outside her house.
She cried out, and the two smaller bears ran back into the forest, but the bigger bear chased Zeus back down the road.
“I’m glad Zeus decided to get away,” Jacobson, who is seen chasing the pair in the video, told the station.
“Not even a bear can stop me from trying to save my dog,” Jacobson wrote in a video posted to social media.
She added, “Thank goodness my @oofos shoes stayed on while running from a bear.”
Jacobson told the station that Zeus outran the bear as the dog rounded a corner, and that’s when the bear started chasing her.
“The bear definitely lunged at me. I was about 35 to 40 feet away from the bear. So I was like, ‘Yeah, I gotta run too.’ So it was definitely a dual impulse of Zeus running and me running.”
Jacobson, Zeus and the bears were all uninjured.
