That is what a neighbor reported. That a black bear was meandering thru the streets, raiding garbage. Turns out it was an extremely large Newfoundland, well over 200 pounds, that took it upon himself to take a leisurely stroll. His owners as it turned out live less than a mile from us. His name is Zar. You guys just would not believe the size of this dog. Turned out to be quite a big teddy bear though!

It definitely makes tales like "Cujo" more believable to me.
