Florida Woman Uses Unexpected Item To Stop Bear Attack
Kristen Savage found herself in a dicey situation with a bear in Sanford, Fla., according to Fox 35 Orlando, and some quick thinking saved the day.
A bear protecting her cubs came after Savage and her dog, and a bag of cookies helped them escape to safety.
"I threw the bag at her, and she stopped for a minute, and she sniffed the cookies. As soon as she was distracted by the cookies, I ran," Savage told the outlet.

Another classic animal thunderdome story, but with an unexpected twist. I guess you have to use whatever tools are at your disposal.
Personally, I don't like messing with nature unless I have a gun. If it's between wild animals or me, I can promise you I'm going to win.
However, you have to work with what you have, and Savage simply had a bag of cookies. It worked because it distracted the bear and opened a window to escape with her dog.
Now, would it work again? I have no idea, and I wouldn't recommend introducing food into a situation with a bear. However, it worked when Savage needed it to, and that's all that matters.
