A woman in Montana sprays a moose with bear spray after the animal enters her yard and charges toward her dogs, according to accounts accompanied by video. She uses the spray to protect her three dogs, which include an older dog that is described as deaf, while the incident unfolds in her backyard.
The reports describe the moose as potentially motivated by proximity to the animals in the yard, with one outlet specifically characterizing it as a “mama” moose. Across coverage, the focus is on the same moment—bear spray being deployed to stop the charge—and on the fact that the dogs are the immediate reason for the woman’s actions. Details beyond that core sequence are limited, with outlets differing mainly in the descriptions of the moose and the dogs involved.
