Man in Washington survives 2nd bear attack in 4 years

A man in Washington state has been attacked by a bear twice in his life.

The mans name was bob, he was recently attacked by a bear on april 16^th after his dog has spooked the animal, he said.

This happened at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, about 45 miles out of Seattle . 

To him it was almost like a deja-vu because he has already been attacked four years ago by a bear, on the same road and running with the same dog. That time he said “he “rolled up in a ball and stayed still .”

But this time, he chose to fight back, he grabbed a tree branch and tried defending himself . The bear bit him more than 40 times and scratched him with its claws.

The first bear was never found by wildlife officials, but this time, they made sure to take down the 300 pound attacker.

Bob still wonders if it may have been the same bear that attacked him in 2011.
