Shocking Video Shows Teen Pushing Bear Off Wall To Save Her Dogs

"I see the bear, it's grabbing my dog, Valentina, and I have to run over there," said Hailey.

A shocking video shows the moment a 17-year-old in California pushed a bear off a fence to save her dogs. The surveillance footage, filmed on Memorial Day, shows the bear and its cubs walking along a low brick wall in the teenager's backyard when the family's dogs started barking at them. According to KTLA, the Morinico family, to whom the backyard belonged, were gardening at the time.  This is Hailey. She chased a bear off her fence and saved her dogs..???? TT: bakedlikepie pic.twitter.com/QsmLV0KTEC yup. Hailey's reaction was quick-witted for the dogs, but very dangerous. I will say when mama climbed back up the wall, she was going after her cubs, not Hailey or the dogs. Confused as to why people are assuming the woman let her dogs out specifically to attack the bear and her cubs rather than assuming the dogs were already outside OR she didn't notice the bears when letting them out? Are people actually this simple lmfao Tough lady. https://t.co/iLRrRkgSuR In the hair-raising video, the huge brown bear was seen swiping at one of the family's dogs, who ran back after receiving a particularly hard blow. The bear then turned its attention to one of the smaller dogs and had almost picked it up when the teen, named Hailey, rushed out to save it.  "I see the bear, it's grabbing my dog, Valentina, and I have to run over there. She's a baby," Hailey said to KTLA. "And the first thing I think to do is push the bear. And somehow it worked." Footage shows the gutsy teen shoving the bear, causing it to fall backwards. She then scrambled to herd her dogs back to safety, pick one up and run back.
