A Minnesota woman didn’t think twice when a bear started chasing her dog, Zeus, down her driveway, instinctively running after the beast and her dog.
The thrilling moments, captured on her home’s surveillance video, later showed Bailey Jacobson screaming and running toward her Maple Grove home after the bear “lunged” at her.
“Obviously, I was petrified,” Jacobson told FOX 9 of the couple coming across three bears rummaging through their trash outside their home earlier this month.

Jacobson posted the video on his social media, writing, “Even a bear couldn’t stop me from trying to save my dog.” »
She added: “Thanks to my @oofos shoes that didn’t fall off while running from a bear.”

“It definitely lunged at me, and I was probably 35 or 40 feet from the bear, and I was like, ‘Well, I have to run too, I guess,’ so it was definitely a two-headed thing where Zeus I ran, and I ran.
