See a Pomeranian chase away a hungry bear<\/p>\n
A hungry black bear wandered into the home of a tiny protector.<\/p>\n
An intruding black bear<\/a> was chased out of a house in Canada by an unlikely hero: a tiny Pomeranian.<\/p>\n Security footage<\/a> captured from the incident shows a black bear casually entering and strolling around the west Vancouver home Aug. 4 when the feisty little Pomeranian, Scout, barges in from a side door and fearlessly chases the bear out of the house and into the yard, where he continues to run after it as his owner calls him back.<\/p>\n Watch: Tiny Pomeranian chases black bear out of Vancouver home<\/p>\n Kayla Kleine, Scout\u2019s owner, told USA TODAY Aug. 8 she had the door open to let in some fresh air because of the heat while getting ready when the bear came in.<\/p>\n “I had music playing (and) didn\u2019t hear the bear come in,” Kleine told USA TODAY over email. “It wandered around (and) then ate Scout’s food in the kitchen.”<\/p>\n “Scout heard and chased the bear out of the house and off the property,” Kleine continued, adding she grabbed a pepper spray and followed.<\/p>\n Despite Scout’s fearlessness, Kleine said she was scared for her two-and-a-half-year-old pup, who she’s had for two years.<\/p>\n “I was worried the bear would turn around and realize how tiny he is,” Kleine said. Scout weighs only five pounds.<\/p>\n Kleine, meanwhile, told\u00a0Global News<\/a>\u00a0Scout can be \u201cscary when he\u2019s mad.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHe just likes to assert his dominance, or like we\u2019ll call him the alpha dog,\u201d Kleine told the Canadian media outlet.<\/p>\n Kleine also posted a follow-up video of the pooch feeling proud of himself on TikTok<\/a> with the caption: \u201cHe\u2019s been like this ever since he defeated the bear.\u201d Scout was also treated to his favorite foods as he watched himself appear on television as a hero, according to another video Kleine posted<\/a>.<\/p>\n The bear did not return after the incident, Kleine said.<\/p>\n How to keep bears from entering your home<\/p>\n British Columbia is home to a sizable population of black bears, and while these animals are typically solitary and shy, they can be a nuisance to humans and can cause human-bear conflicts.<\/p>\n
