Default Bear Attacks Dachshund in Eustis

News article in the Daily Commercial (Leesburg's newspaper) regarding a bear attacking a dachshund in Eustis. This happened in the lady's garage.

Dachshund recovering from bear attack - Daily Commercial: News

I've been told that bears have been seen in Fruitland Park (out Eagles Nest Rd. which is between Oakwood restaurant and Phillips Buick on the other side of the road....and not sure how far out) and Pennbrooke Fairways (about 5 miles from Brownwood). So if they are that close I wonder what the chances are that one might wander into The Villages?

I haven't seen that many dachshunds. So I guess not much.

There have been bears here in TV. Pictures were posted on this website a while back. The only bears I've seen however are "grumpie bears". Folks who can't smile if their life depended on it.

I believe you are referring to "grump buckets." I just love that term...so descriptive.
