Once inside, the animal became scared of the crowd and started running around, looking for a way out.

A New Yorker who is originally from Alaska, showed customers a skill she learned while living in the last frontier.

The woman, Sara Fulton, stepped forward, and said, "Hold my phone. I'm from Alaska."
