Bears reacted badly to losing this year’s Summer of Fear contest to Sharks by trying to attack an Alaskan town and being driven off by a puppy.

It has been a lean year for the Summer of Fear, but I want to congratulate the 2008 and winner, return champion, the Shark. It has been close up the wire but the Shark pulled a win out with this brilliant story in the ever reliable Sun. Well done Sharks everywhere.
