Hey there, Side Doorables, Lizzie here.

While Side Door is on summer break, we're sharing some of our favorite episodes from other podcasts we think you will love.

Today's story comes from Points North, a show from Interlockin Public Radio that explores the land, water, and people of the Great Lakes.

But you can enjoy these stories from anywhere in the world.

This episode starts with a black bear attack in the dead of winter. Already strange, since bears are supposed to be

hibernating, but what follows is even more wild. I won't give it away, but if you liked our

episode Zoo's Clues with veterinarian Callie Holder. I think you'll really enjoy this

story. Okay, here's Bear Trouble from Points North. One morning, about a week before Christmas,

Bill Vott steps outside to sweep some snow off his porch, and his little corgi, Darla, comes with him.

I was headed out just to enjoy the morning, sort of,

and of course when I go out, she always wants to go with me.

So Darla runs out into the fenced yard

and wanders behind the car in the driveway.

I kind of was looking the other way, sweeping,

and all of a sudden she just bolted past me.

She was pretty hysterical.

Just barking loud and fast.

Bill walks toward her when all of a sudden

something hits his leg.

A black bear runs right past him

and jumps on Darla.

All that bearhead in his brain was to get that dog and eat it.
