'Hero' Dog Defends Boyfriend From Two Bears in Backyard Attack
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A dog has been praised for her remarkable display of loyalty and courage when she took on two charging bears to protect her canine companion. The pit bull mix Marion was rushed to the vets after she came up against two wild bears while spending time in the backyard. Marion was playing with her "boyfriend" Bruno, a tiny chiweenie belonging to a friend of her owner. Bruno began barking as two bears approaching the property, and when one of the bears lunged toward him, Marion didn't hesitate. "Marion immediately ran to defend him, squaring up with two bears. One of the bears attacked her, pinning her on the ground and biting her on her neck and face," Claire Samford, Referral Coordinator at the Emergency Vet Clinic of Niceville and Destin told Newsweek. "Miraculously, she escaped and was brought to our clinic for emergency care."

A video shared by the clinic on TikTok showed her standing, with two bandaged legs and a caption that read: "Our Maryann is 'Marion' who didn't hesitate to take on not one, but two bears to save her boyfriend." "We've seen our fair share here in Florida so far this summer," Samford said. "But most don't come with a heroine story like Marions." The only bear species in Florida is the black bear, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission estimate there are around 4,000 bears in the state. There is evidence that the prevalence of bears in Florida has increased in recent years. According to data from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) the total number of bear-related calls in Florida has significantly increased over the 20-year span, from 1,919 calls in 2005 to 7,311 calls in 2024—a nearly 4-fold increase. In 2024, non-core complaints (calls about bear interactions that could be positive or negative) reached their highest ever at 65 percent, suggesting that more bears are being seen in communities, though not necessarily causing harm, while core complaints (where conflicts occur) made up 35 percent of calls. "We do see our fair share of bear attacks at our Emergency Vet Clinic in Florida around this time of year, but the fact that Marion risked her life for her Chiweenie boyfriend made this story stand out and really melted our hearts," Samford said. In the TikTok video sharing Marion's story, people rushed to praise the brave pup as it amassed more than 370,000 views. Set against the song 'Goodbye Earl' by The Chicks, the clip was captioned: "Campaigning to have the lyrics changed from Mary Ann to Marion for this hero."

"Dogs really are angels on Earth. I just wanna give her a big hug," said one commenter. While another wrote: "You can tell she's a gentle baby too I'm gonna cry what a good girl." Marion's owner later shared an update on her condition: "Marion's wounds are already closed and healing nicely. She was back to her normal self the very next day as if nothing happened. She's so back to normal that I'm worried that she would go after the bear again if she saw one, especially if she thinks she needs to protect us. "She has no fear other than taking a bath, so I'm on high alert. She was homeless her first year of life before we adopted her, so I think she has a lot of toughness in her from surviving on the streets alone."

Fancy Hagood and Michelle Branch Argue over Getting Rid of a Body in 'Isn't That Life' Music Video — Watch
Fancy Hagood is in trouble — and needs a little help from his friend Michelle Branch. On Wednesday, Feb. 26, the country artist, 33, shared the music video for his "Goodbye Earl"-style track "Isn't That Life," which Rolling Stone premiered and features him and the singer-songwriter, 41, arguing over disposing a body. At the start of the visual, Hagood appears panicked as he ties up a dead body in plastic, before calling up Branch and asking her to come to his house.

We don't have a lot of time." Branch and her friend then help Hagood carry the body to the trunk of Branch's red Mercedes. "I can't go back to jail," she quips, appearing to nod to her 2022 arrest following an alleged domestic dispute with her husband Patrick Carney, whom she had accused of being unfaithful. (The charge has since been dismissed.) Branch drives the getaway car, as the pair harmonize: "Yeah you saw me, yeah honey I saw you too / Now, letting go ain't ever easy to do, no." Both musicians then go to a house party before the police crash it. While Hagood and Branch drive away, they eventually are stopped by the police who open the trunk only to find a note that says "Isn't That Life" instead of a body. 'When talking through ideas with the director, Ford Fairchild, the idea hit me, 'What if Michelle and I were Mary Anne and Wanda's younger cousins, reliving the generational patterns that happen in families.' The Chicks' iconic music video was a big inspiration for us, but of course we had to put our own spin on it,' Hagood told Rolling Stone in a statement. He added: 'The song is a positive outlook on heartbreak, but the video is a dark storyline told through a campy and humorous lens. After all, when you can look back and laugh at the bad times you know you've really moved on.' "Isn't That Life" was featured on Hagood's 2024 album American Spirit. In an October 2023 interview with PEOPLE, the "Boys Like You" performer opened up about being a country artist who is a part of the LGBTQ+ community.

And so I put that dream on hold for a while,' said Hagood, who then moved to Los Angeles to try out the pop scene. However, Hagood turned around to chase his lifelong goal. 'Being back in Nashville and creating with my friends, and being inspired by so much change that's happening, I really decided I wanted to get back to my original dream and pursue why I moved to Nashville in the first place when I was 17,' he said.
