Artist's comments:

Early one morning Annie and I went out to do a couple of things on the agility field before leaving for work. She had run out ahead of me and it was still a little dark. I saw her out on the field running circles around a big black dog which I thought was very strange. In our area there are never any loose dogs because of the livestock and farmers. As I got closer to the dogs out in the field the big black dog turned out to be a black bear on it's hind legs turning in a circle while it was being zoomed by the Dale. I freaked. I called Annie off with a very loud recall command and she and I beat feet out of there. Haven't seen the bear lately either.
