Dramatic video of the moment a Florida man fights off a black bear on his porch to protect pet dogs

‘Not a lot went through my head at the moment'

A Florida man threw himself at a black bear as it charged at his three daschhund puppies at the back porch of his home.

Dramatic home surveillance footage shows Walt Hickox instinctively react as he hurled himself between the large bear and his three dogs Pickles, Pepper and Piper.

Mr Hickox, of Daytona Beach, clapped and screamed to frighten the bear off, and pushed the animal out of his porch door as it tried to claw and bite him.

He then shoved a bench in front of the door to block the bear from returning.

Mr Hickox said he didn't give a moment's thought to his own safety and had just been trying to protect his pets and family during Wednesday night's attack.

“Not a lot went through my head at the moment, other than what's going to happen if he gets past me and into the house where the rest of my dogs and my wife was at,” Mr Hickox told WFTV.

“I just wanted to deflect the tension off the dog long enough for him to realize, ‘hey, there's a human in here too,'” Mr Hickox said.

A clip of the bear attack went viral online.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission recommends making loud noises and banging pans if a bear comes on to a property.

The commission also says food should not be left out, and to avoid scaring wild animals.

This is NOT something any newbie jumper should EVER try.

I think this guy was putting himself at some risk to go after his shoe with the aggressive moves he was making.

I'm bisexual and i approve of this message

!germanstop - Hallo zusammen, geht es allen gut? Auf YouTube gibt es ein Video, das Aufnahmen einer Sturzflut in Bayern zeigt, die durch einen Dammbruch verursacht wurde. Das ist anscheinend heute passiert. Ist das echt? Wenn ja, hoffe ich, dass es euch allen gut geht. Ich habe versucht, die Tagesschau zu sehen, aber ich kann in Großbritannien keinen Live-Empfang der ARD auf internet bekommen.

Someone recently posted a clip about someone "pissing their pants in fear" as they were about to be executed - and I thought this was unfair to say - because NONE of us really know how we'd respond in this awful stressful situation.

MOST of us are the superheroes of the story in our imaginations as we daydream and think about how wonderful we'd be if we lived out the action movie sequences we see in big hollyweird movies we spend too much time watching.

We all THINK we'd be super brave and heroic and studly.

But if you lived through a few big bad guys getting in your face, for real - you learn a few things about yourself.

It made me think how our bodies REALLY respond to extreme stress.

Some of you have experienced this.

Some of you KNOW the aftereffects of an adrenaline rush and how this physically impacts your body.

It isn't pretty.

You body melts down.

You can't help it.

You'll know what I mean if it's happened to you.

And it reminded me of the perfect portrayal of how our bodies betray us - after a stress jolt to our system.

The character Kevin Costner played demonstrated this perfectly after he first met one of the injun's in Dances with Wolves.

Ignore after 2:10 in the clip - just an ad from that point on.

my stupid other Marsey art got quite a bit of love I thought might as well make some more and post it, sorry if this looks a little ugly.

I thought it'd be fun to put Marsey in a shirt of my favorite band, KMFDM ! They're super cool, go check them out.

The horror!
