I was fourteen and went on a trip with a neighbor to Western PA. One night we were out spotting deer. His dad and a friend were driving and four of us were in the camper bed in the back of the truck. They decided to go to the local dump to see if we could spot some black bears. Well after arriving and seeing quite a few bears dining on some delectable trash, we saw a huge black bear coming our way down the road. As we peered throught the open tailgate we watched as the hulk of the approaching beast got larger and larger. We started getting very squemish and very bothered that we had no where to go and no protection. The guys in the cab had no idea what was taking place. They had the light and where doing there own thing. Finally the bemoth reached the bed and gave a playful bark as it was a huge Great-Dane that just wanted some petting. As we let out a collective sigh, we happily obliged this big beast and thanked our lucky stars.
