The Loflin family from Banner Elk sent in two videos of a bear encounter on Thursday.
Ryan Loflin shares with WataugaOnline.com, “Around 3:30pm on Thursday, I went downstairs to let my dog out. The second she got outside, she started barking and begging to come in. Not but 5 minutes later, a mama bear and 3 cubs climb on our porch, and steal Riley’s ( our dog) dog food!!”
