A woman in Black Mountain, North Carolina, is crediting her family’s tiny dog with saving her life and the lives of her two children from a bear. Pickles, a toy poodle with curly black fur, died in what Tiffany Merrill believes was an attempt to protect his human family, she told local news outlet WLOS. Not long afterward, a bear walked right in. She said she didn’t want to run to her children because she feared the bear would follow her to them. She said the bear was “charging after her” ― until Pickles showed up.
