A Dog in Need
In Evans Creek, Washington, a motorist spotted a frightened, undernourished dog—later named Bear—at a campsite.
When approached, the dog turned aggressive and fled.
Word soon reached Amanda, who felt compelled to help.
Rescue Attempts
Amanda and her friend Dylan spent hours trying to lure Bear with food.
“They attempted to bribe Bear with food and treats for more over an hour, but their strategy was unsuccessful.”
Even after returning the next day, Bear remained distant and afraid.
A Creative Plan
Amanda came up with an unusual idea: “She pretended to be dead while curled up in a fetal position.”
After 20 minutes of sniffing her, Bear walked away—but returned later and sat beside her.
After two hours, he trusted her enough to follow her to the car.
A New Beginning
Amanda and Dylan took Bear to a vet.
Though his owner was never found, “Bear found a loving home after a family reached out.”
