It’s not everyday a wild animal walks into your front porch, however, a young bear tried to enter a Florida man’s home to prey on his dogs.
The man, identified as Walter Hickox, fought off the bear that attacked them at his home in Daytona Beach.
“The line of focus between the bear’s eyes and my dog,” he told Inside Edition recalling the moment.
The agency in its statement said that the man “received non-life-threatening injuries from a bear” in the incident, while his dogs were not injured.
The agency also put out some tips for residents to deal in such situation.
The agency also asked pet owners to bang on their doors and flip house lights on and off before taking pets out for a walk, giving signal to bears to leave the area.
