I was walking my dog this morning at about 7.30am along the seafront when suddenly he tensed up and came bounding over to me, he was very frightened, I looked and there was a large animal scrambling across the shingle, I have to say it looked most similar to a bear although I realise this sounds crazy, it did not have the movement of a dog which is the only other animal I can think of and it stood up on its hind legs. It was not just my dog that was scared and the two of us quickly left the scene, I cannot think what it could possibly be other than a bear but for the sake of my dog and for other dog owners and indeed people using the beach I hope this bear can be caught and put somewhere where it is not a danger to people or animals.
