The 4-Pound Hero: Feisty Pomeranian Chases Black Bear Out of the House

A feisty Pomeranian didn’t hesitate to protect her home when a black bear wandered inside, leading to a hilarious yet terrifying confrontation.

Home surveillance video from Kayla Kleine in Vancouver, British Columbia, shows the bear casually walking around the house before 3-year-old Scout goes on the attack. Scout fearlessly and relentlessly chases the massive bear out of the house and through the yard.

The motivation behind the tiny dog’s immense bravery is quite funny: Kleine told Storyful that Scout may have been protecting his food bowl, which the bear had helped himself to. The bear is reportedly a regular visitor to their yard.

Kleine posted a follow-up video of the proud pooch on TikTok with the caption: “He’s been like this ever since he defeated the bear.”

By the numbers: According to the British Columbia government website, there are approximately 120,000 to 160,000 black bears in the Canadian province, which accounts for about a quarter of all black bears in Canada. This context makes Scout’s defensive stand against such a prevalent animal even more remarkable.
