Honey the Hero Dog: Bear Slayer & Chicken Savior

0:00It's March 31st, Sydney news today starts now, AI powered and ready. A 12-year-old half-blind dog named Honey from New Mexico just earned the nickname Bearslayer after taking on a hungry bear that tried to crash, her family's place. This tough pup protected over 60 chickens, two horses, and other doves without letting a single one get hurt. Early March, right after hibernation season, the bears showed up hungry and bold, but security footage and tracks prove Honey went straight at it. She battled hard, keeping the intruder away from the co-ops and home. Her owner Denise Martinez and family found Honey the next morning in the driveway, torn up bad with deep punctures, ripped skin on her neck, bruising, and massive swelling. Already partly blind from a past porcupine fight, she looked like she wouldn't make it. The family rushed her to the Espanola Humane Shelter's clinic for emergency surgery, daily bandage changes, and meds. Honey powered through like a champ, even with visitors like Denise, her daughter Leanna,
