Source - FORT LAUDERDALE - Three-year-old Mary Jane is one lucky, and loyal, dog. She has extensive serious injuries after being attacked by a bear.
It happened near Ft. Lauderdale - an unusual place for bear sightings.
Mary Jane was being taken on an evening walk when she took off running. Her veterinarian says the dog was playing with a bear cub when the mama bear jumped in. Then Mary Jane seemed to focus on protecting the woman walking her.
"So her wounds are pretty extensive,” explained Dr. Ashley Villatoro with Ft. Lauderdale Veterinary Specialists. “We always worry about wounds to the body wall. But in her case, she was very lucky."
The dog has a lot of puncture wounds all over her body.
But doctors say she's doing remarkably well and should go home soon.
First and foremost, big time shout out to the hero of this whole situation - Mary Jane. Unbelievably brave, pretty, and very good girl. I know some people think it's overplayed but dogs really are the fucking best, and I for one will never tire of singing their praises. To be honest, I feel like the internet era is the first time we're really all appreciating the awesomeness that is man's (or woman's, not tryna be sexist) best friend together, as a group. Feels good.
Secondly, this is clearly the owners fault. I don't mean to stereotype here but if you name your dog Mary Jane then you are 1000% percent a stoner and the fact that this owner is anonymous in this whole ordeal makes me question their legitimacy. I would put all my money on the chick walking MJ being stoned as fuck, she was probably marveling at an iguana walking along a fence or something because remember, we are in Florida. Meanwhile, super friendly girl Mary Jane was trying to goof off with a bear cub only to come face to face with Big Mama. Scary! But she made it out alive with a few scrapes, but she's recovering so that's good news.

Overall I don't really know how to react, I'm torn. I fuck with bears big time. Pedals the Bear is one of the all time funniest animals and from what I've read, is a big time sweetheart and not a total piece of shit despite being from New Jersey.
But at the same time if I have to choose Team Bear or Team Dog, there's not even a choice. I don't want to say we should go to Florida and kill all the bears - mostly because I don't want to step foot in Florida - but at the same time, Mary Jane deserves some form of justice, right? I guess it's not my dog so I really shouldn't give two shits, but MJ is a real ride or die bitch and those are very hard to come by.
Compromise: If a bear hurts my dog I'm going to kill it because I'm a good owner and wouldn't let my dog try to sacrifice itself for my own well-being without also showing it that I, too ride or die. BUT if it happens in Florida we just kind of leave it alone.
Also, how about this line..."It happened near Ft. Lauderdale - an unusual place for bear sightings."
I don't know who the author of this is, it doesn't say, but if you live in Florida and are surprised by what animals you're seeing, then you have not lived in Florida for a very long time. Florida has GIANT SNAKES from FUCKING ASIA that have just become native, they are currently dominating all other small animals and fucking up the Everglades. Florida has big cats, feral cats, pigs, snakes, gators, crocs, bugs scientists don't even know about. It's one big science experiment with mutant animals and live human testing for the next generation of amphetamines. What a place, man, what a place.
UPDATE:
Upon doing further research on Pedals the Bear I have unfortunately learned that he is widely believed to be dead, murdered by some nefarious hunter in New Jersey. Just an absolutely tragic turn of events. One second you're flipping through old Pedals the Bear gifs and videos, the next he's dead. RIP Pedals, the world lost a real one.
