On June 30, my family's two golden retrievers treed an animal, which isn't unusual. What was unusual was the particular animal they treed...

The bear came down an hour after we brought the dogs in.

@Sphinx When I went outside and saw it, I was taken aback a little.
They're increasingly common where I live because the area mostly returned to forest after most of the old inefficient farms went belly-up in the 1930's, and that forest is starting to mature.

@mathlover

Understood. I never saw a bear in person
if I did. I probably run faster than anyone else.

@Sphinx Black bears are quite scared of people, dogs, etc. Hence why this one (a relatively young one) went up a tree rather than deal with our dogs.

@Sphinx Even with black bears, you should be careful. And never go between a mother bear and her cubs.
