Bet you can't beat this bear story!

My brother Randy called today. He was in Beckley and had just finished a lunch of fresh trout with Mom and Dad. He said he caught seven rainbows near his place in Virginia and he and his wife Tammy had to take youngest daughter Madison to summer church camp at Ghent, WV and so they took the trout over for Mom to put that special touch on them. Mmmmmmmmmmmm. Sorry I missed that.
He's had a bear coming into his yard off and on for about a month. The other night he heard his Plott female Blister (NiteCH Bear Pen Piney River Wrangler x Bear Pen Santina Grande) raising cane at about 2:30 AM. He said, "Now if I have to go down there and run that bear off again, I'm going to take my light, and if I take my light I should take my gun and if I take my gun and that rascal is down there again, I'm liable to shoot him so I better just go take a peek and leave the gun alone." That's Bro.
He said before he went down he could hear Bliss baying and could hear her chain going in and out of the dog house. When he got down there, he discovered that the bear had broken down his kennel fence and went into the dog pen after the dog. The bear had raked her pretty good down the side.
That's the first time I've heard of a bear coming into a pen after a Plott. Now I know I'm going to get the raspberries, ie, "if your dog was tough enough she would have kept the bear out." That sort of thing. Well, this is a big boar, about 300 pounds and I'll bet it's been pretty much used to doing what it wants. At least she was running in and out of the house baying the bear. If she was skeered, she wuda jest stayed inside, don't you think?
Can anybody top that story?
