Honey suffered severe neck wounds but survived after Espanola Humane treated her, and the Martinez family said no chickens were lost.
- Honey, a 12-year-old mixed-breed dog owned by the Martinez family, survived a bear attack in early March while protecting their chickens in their driveway.
- The Martinez family believes a bear attempted to access their property to eat chickens, but Honey, an extremely protective dog, intervened to stop the animal, preventing any loss of livestock.
- Mattie Allen, director of communications and programs at Espanola Humane, noted tracks showed Honey running back and forth to deter the bear. "Honey took the brunt of the bear's anger," Allen said.
- Lenna Martinez described severe neck wounds found after the attack, but the family credits Espanola Humane with saving the dog, whom they now call "Honey the Bear Slayer."
- Now recovering, Honey is being celebrated for her fierce loyalty, and the Martinez family extended their thanks to Espanola Humane for providing an affordable option to help save her.
