Doritos-Snatching Bear Frightens Campers

KALISPELL, Mont. - A grizzly bear forced two campers to retreat into a lake before snatching their Doritos and smashing them into little pieces.
"He just left this little sawdust pile of broken chips," camper Daynna Dowell said.
Dowell was swimming in the Hungry Horse Reservoir on Saturday when she spotted the bear sniffing their dog.
"He walked up and smelled the dog. I thought he was going to bite his head off," Dowell said.
The dog barked and chased the bear back into the woods. But the bear followed the dog back to the beach.
Dowell's boyfriend, Jared Ondaro, who had been chopping wood, joined Dowell in the lake with an ax.
Dowell said she took photographs of the bear to provide evidence for investigators in case the animal devoured them.
She also called her sister on a cell phone, telling her what was happening and saying she'd call right back ... maybe.
After crushing the chips, the bear wandered back into the woods.
"(The bear) never acted mean," Dowell said. "We stood around in the water for 15 or 20 minutes."
