Some people can do some amazing things when their loved ones are in trouble and for some people, their fur babies are loved like family.
Over Memorial Day weekend, a video from a security camera popped up on social media showing a mama bear and her two cubs climbing over a fence into a house’s back yard while several pet dogs swarm to attack and protect their owner’s property. Fortunately, a brave and quick-thinking woman ran up to the brown bear and shoved it off of the fence then scooped up a small dog and ran away.
A TikTok user named Brenda, who posts under the username Bakedlikepie, posted the video. Since it appeared on the social media network over the holiday weekend, it has been viewed over 39.4 million times.
According to the post, the footage was filmed by home security cameras at the California home of Brenda’s cousin, Hailey.
In the video, a brown bear can be seen climbing over a fence into the house’s garden. Several cubs also appear to be with the larger animal, suggesting that it’s a mother bear. Multiple dogs appear and start barking at the bear. One of the larger dogs runs up to the bear and is struck in the face several times by the larger animal.
Then, Hailey comes running into the frame and pushes the bear off the fence. While the bear quickly climbed back onto the fence, this gave Hailey enough time to gather the dogs and get them out of the area.
According to Brenda, all of her dogs were fine although one did suffer from some minor scratches.
In a later video, Hailey explains that she lives in the mountains and bears aren’t an uncommon sight this time of the year. Luckily Hailey walked away with just a sprained finger from the encounter.
