First of all, let’s get one thing clear: Carl Moore is a boss.

But he also has a sensitive side. This is Lacey, his beloved dog who almost got mauled by a bear:

After he heard Lacey whimpering, Carl ran outside to see what was happening.

But the bear wasn’t having it.

Moore, an ex-Marine, claims he ran up to it and punched him right in the face.

No big deal, really.

His friend of 25 years, John, saw the whole thing.

Three cheers for Carl!
