#1 I lived on Bear Mountain in Evergreen, CO for a while. West of Denver.

Was watching the Avalanche lose the Stanley Cup.
Bill, my red spotted hound and I got off the couch and went outside at the 2nd period.

A large shadow of something ran off the porch with Bill right after and me behind him.
Into the brush, he shrieked, and the bear was gone.

I found him still alive but pretty crunched up.
Later examination at the 24x7 emer vet suggested the bear had grabbed him around the middle then moved up to a shoulder on the way to his head.

Punctured lung, separated shoulder and half his face laying on the ground.
The vet was good. Three days later I took him home. Dogs are tough.
Changed his name to Lumpy.
