Seward is not urban... suburban maybe I'd almost go closer to rural... but urban? Who are you kidding? 

You could sneeze and miss it it's so small. 
I've had multiple bear run ins ... it's just part of living here but I've never been mauled because if you see a baby bear anywhere you duck out fast.  If there's no cubs you generally have no trouble.  If you live here you carry bear spray or a firearm. 

Trust me she's not coming for you when you shoot in the air she's more concerned to get her cubs out of dodge. I'm sorry this man had to get mauled to learn to be prepared always when enjoying the outdoors.  But with so much flatland in Seward how did he not see them? What was he doing texting and jogging? 

I shouldn't be so negative ugh.. just don't want any other bears to be shot because of ignorant ppl.  I hope his dogs are ok and that he makes it home soon in good health.
