The story of a 17-year-old dog who protected his house against a wild bear that invaded at night is a hot topic.

According to U.S. media such as the New York Post, a wild bear broke into a California home around 12 p.m. on the 15th (local time). The owner of the house was asleep.

According to CCTV footage installed in the house, the 17-year-old dog 'Doodle', who was at home the moment the bear entered the house, was embarrassed and approached with courage.




The bear put his foot out and swung at the Doodle, but the Doodle quickly ducked and barked a warning.

As the bear approached close range, Doodle barked back again and stepped back.

After that, the bear was seen pacing around the house for about 20 minutes, opening the refrigerator and rummaging inside.




The owner of the house woke up to see the light leaking from the kitchen, only to find out about the bear's existence.

Fortunately, the bear left without any attack, and there was only a broken door and a surprised dog in the house.

The bear was wearing a necklace-like device, and according to nearby residents, it is known as a frequent 'Dangol Guest'.




One resident said "It's close to the mountain here, so bears come down often" Fortunately, so far, it's been relatively peaceful"

Netizens are saying, "Heroic behavior"", "No dog, but kept the house.", Comments such as 'I think the bear was surprised' are posted.
