A terrier takes on a black bear - and lives to tell the tale

CBC Newfoundland Morning

Black bears are making their presence known in this province this fall. Bear sightings have been reported from areas of Central and Western Newfoundland in particular. The bears, of course, are trying to eat as much as they can before they settle down for the winter. People often unwittingly attract bears by leaving food sources around for them, such as garbage and bird feeders. Last weekend near Clarenville, a bold little dog got a little too close to a mother bear and her cubs. Maggie Brown-Bury is a veterinarian in the region and spoke with CBC's Elizabeth Whitten.
