A Minnesota woman didn’t think twice when a bear started chasing her dog, Zeus, down her driveway, instinctively running after the beast and her dog.

The thrilling moments, captured on her home’s surveillance video, later showed Bailey Jacobson screaming and running toward her Maple Grove home after the bear “lunged” at her.

“Obviously, I was petrified,” Jacobson told FOX 9 of the couple coming across three bears rummaging through their trash outside their home earlier this month.

After she screamed, two smaller bears ran towards the woods, but the larger one chased Zeus down the road.

“I’m glad Zeus made the decision to go for a run,” Jacobson, who can be seen chasing the two in the video, told the station.

Jacobson posted the video on his social media, writing, “Even a bear couldn’t stop me from trying to save my dog.” »

She added: “Shout out to my @oofos shoes for not falling off while running from a bear. »

Jacobson told the station that Zeus passed the bear as the dog came around the corner, and that’s when the predator chased him.

“He definitely lunged at me, and I was probably 35 or 40 feet from the bear, and I was like, ‘Well, I have to run too, I guess,’ so that was definitely a thing with two heads where Zeus I ran, and I ran.

Neither Jacobson, nor Zeus, nor any of the bears were injured.
