WATCH: Family rescues bear after it was found swimming with a plastic tub on its head
A Wisconsin family rescued a young bear after it got a plastic cheese ball container stuck on its head. Tricia Hurt, her husband Brian, and their son Brady were out fishing on Marsh-Miller Lake on Sunday when they came across the distressed black bear. The family came up behind the bear, and Brian pulled on the tub but lost his grip -- but he realized the bear's ear was loose. They looped the boat back around, and after a final tug the bear was free and swam safely to shore. The Hurts learned from people at the bar that the bear had been running around with the tub on its head for three to four days.
