A brave family dog scared off a bear that wandered into a home and was snooping through the kitchen.
The bear stuck its head through a door that was cracked open, then stepped into the home and looked around and walked toward the kitchen, security camera footage from the upstate New York home shows.
Shortly after a sound is heard, a big, light-colored dog with a bandana around its neck runs toward the bear, followed by a woman living in the home. The bear flees out the door and the woman quickly shuts it, then she and her dog run away from the living room area.
Though outside the frame of the camera, the dog is heard barking continuously.
The encounter did not entirely scare off the bear, as it is seen coming back up to the glass door. Throughout the barking, the bear keeps peering into the home and walks around scoping it out several times before walking off casually.
It happened on May 22 at Stephanie Behren’s home in Chatham, according to Storyful. Her hero dog is named Harper.
