Huh, not every day a dude gets chased by a bear in front of a Kia dealer.

If this thread proves one thing, it's that the internet has gotten it wrong since Day 1. Dogs are way better than cats.
Oh. This has its own thread with a twist written all over it.
Well, it's clear they found the dumb ass...
Animal control officers were called to a North Carolina Dollar General store after a stray dog kept coming into the store and beelining for the toy aisle.
"He went straight for the unicorn, the same one every time," says Joe Newburn, a supervisor at Duplin County Animal Services.
"It was so strange, one of the strangest calls I've ever dealt with," Newburn adds.
Workers at the Kenansville store (about 80 miles from Raleigh) told animal control officers that they caught the Lab mix darting into Dollar General every time a customer exited. Each time the stray dog made it in, he went to grab the same plush purple unicorn toy.
"Finally, they had to lock the door and called us," Newburn tells PEOPLE about how animal control became involved in this playful pooch's story.
Samantha Lane, the officer who responded to the Dollar General store's call, was so taken with the dog's devotion to the unicorn that she bought the $10 toy for the dog. According to Newburn, the canine was happy to head off with Lane once he had his beloved stuffed animal.
Lane brought the dog to a Duplin County Animal Services shelter, where workers named him Sisu after the dragon cartoon character in Disney's new film, Raya and the Last Dragon.
"The only thing we can think is that he came from a home where he had a similar stuffed animal or kids in the home did," Newburn adds.
"It's so sweet. It's amazing. I mean, he's obviously super smart, and even when we got him to the animal shelter, he's been very obedient. He sits, shakes. Someone should be looking for him," Newburn says. "I don't know of any other reason why he would focus on the unicorn other than he had one at home. If the store had called and said he tore open dog food, that would make more sense but not hunting for a purple unicorn."
I would have to imagine the reason why the woman walked by the guy as if he wasn’t there is because he wasn’t. It appears to be fake.
