Major, the hero Boxer, is alive and back at home!
Dear all,
My girlfriend told me about this amazing story a few days ago and she too was waiting for news..that never came. I don't know why they didnt follow up with this story but the good news is Major is back home and safe...and healthy. I googled this news story (after considerable effort) and came across this forum whilst I was searching, so I registered especially to let you all know the happy ending too!
God is great...all the time!
Ciao,
Anthony
Four-Legged Hero Back Home in Ligonier
"Major," the dog that chased a bear that got too close to his family, is back home safe and sound

Ligonier (KDKA) It's what a local family has been hoping for since their protective pooch disappeared after fighting off a black bear: their four-legged hero is back home safe and sound with the family.
Bill and Dawn Rusko have been hailing their boxer, "Major," a hero for potentially saving their children from bear attack outside their Ligonier home last Sunday.
The family dog went after the bear -- twice -- as it headed straight the front yard where Corey Rusko, 11, was playing with his sister and cousin.
"I owe him my life. He's a brave, strong dog -- and he really deserves to live a full, healthy life!" -- Corey Rusko
Major had been missing since he chased the bear back into the woods.
Last night, though, the family found their beloved pet in the woods about a mile from home.
Major lost a little weight and a few wounds, but is otherwise okay.
His family welcomed him home with his favorite food -- pork chops.
