Gran fights off bear with pillow

Oct 6 2009 By Richard Mooney

AN American gran fought off an intruding bear in her home with nothing but a decorative pillow.

Sally Rebehn from Vail, Colorado was sitting at home when a bear and a cub entered her kitchen.

She said: "I heard the door open to my room and I thought, well it’s gotta be Yoo-Hoo the family dog. And I turn around and here was this big bear. I was screaming and she went up on her hind feet. And I was in between my bed and the wall. I grabbed one of these pillows and I just slung it at her. And she turned around and she left.”
