Default Bear watch.
LAKEWOOD, Wash. — A black bear alarmed residents of a Lakewood neighborhood early today and then escaped from Washington wildlife agents even though it was tranquilized and tracked by a bear dog. Sgt. Ted Jackson told KOMO Radio the bear got away over backyard fences and may have found refuge in a greenbelt. The bear appears to be a couple of years old and could weigh several hundred pounds. It has been spotted over the past week in the Lakewood-Fort Lewis area. Agents responded to 911 calls and shot the bear with the tranquilizer dart about 6 a.m. today. That failed to slow it down, and it even eluded the agents’ Karelian bear dog. Police also were in the neighborhood helping watch for the bear as children headed to school.

The real question BA is what were you doing with it in the woods?

Turns out it wasn't a bear that they shot with all the tranquilizer darts. It ended up being Jub looking for his disc. I can see why they confused them though. Not sure why it took 6 darts to drop him. Must have a high tolerance....

Let's just hope he makes it back from his relocated home in the Cascades in time for the CSI.
