Imagine looking for garbage bags and seeing a bear, yes, a black bear making its way towards you! What do you do? Throw a bag of no-name candy its way? Not sure.

According to Patch, "On Tuesday, around 3:30 p.m., Vernon police received a call from the owner of Mountain Dispensary, on Route 94, that a 175-pound black bear had attacked his dog and chased two of his employees. Moments later, an employee from the business next door, Dollar General, called Vernon police, saying that the bear had wandered into the dollar store."
