Watch a Valiant Dog Refuse to Back Down and Expel a Bear Trying to Invade Its Home

Dogs are known for the undying loyalty that they possess, which is why dogs make such great pets and additions to our families. Not only their loyalty to us as their family but also their loyalty to protect at all costs. After all, isn’t that what love is? Well, we see a valiant effort from a dog below to protect his home and family.

Valiant Dog Chases Bear Away

It’s the middle of the night, according to the look on this nighttime security camera. And we see a dog wander outside of the home. Something has clearly alerted this dog to the presence of something close by that should not be. 

Within a few seconds, we hear this dog barking ferociously and progressing forward to whatever danger lurks in the shadows. Upon seeing what predator it was, we see the dog back up a few feet. At that point, we can see that it is an enormous bear, a brown bear by the looks of him in the dark. 

The bear approaches, unafraid of this dog that is a quarter of his size. If we pause the video at 37 seconds, we shockingly see this bear is literally inches from this dog’s face. We’d think the dog would run in fear. However, he knows that behind those closed doors is a family that he loves and will protect at all costs. We see him stand his ground. 

This dog goes a step further, and he barks loudly, and it scares this brown bear, and he jumps back in surprise. Tbear backs up a few feet; it’s as if he is trying to decide whether or not he wants to pick this fight. After a moment of deliberation, this bear decides that he has decided not to. 

Where Do Brown Bears Live?

Brown bears (Ursus arctos) of the genus Ursus are located in Asia, Eurasia, Europe, and in North America. It is estimated there are 190,000 brown bears left. This makes their conservation status stable. 

Two of the most popular subspecies of brown bears are the grizzly bear and the Kodiak bear. Grizzly bears (Ursus arctos Horriblis) are central to North America and weigh anywhere between 400-800 pounds. 

The Kodiak bear (Ursus arctos middendorffi) takes the award for being the largest of bears. They weigh between 600-1,400 pounds. 

Brown bears are omnivores, which means they will eat both meat and plant matter. Brown bears will eat things such as fish, fruit, insects, leaves, moose, and rodents.
