Centerville’s Cottonwood Court looked more like Pooh Corner last week, when a young black bear out for a stroll gave some teenagers quite a scare.

Hailey Nelson, 17, and Dori Arndt, 15, were doing some gardening Tuesday afternoon outside the home of friend Hailey Nyberg, 17. As Nelson worked, she thought she saw Nyberg’s dog walk by in the corner of her eye.

“We wanted money, so we decided to go pull some weeds and we’re just pulling some weeds, just talking, listening to some music, turn our heads and it’s just a black lab,” Nelson said.
