An 11-year-old golden retriever proved that one of the most common house pets can also be a pretty good guard dog. The dog — named Pretty — blocked the garage entrance, barked, and wagged his tail as a brown bear entered a residence around 11:30 Sunday night.
… The bear vs. dog showdown took place in Sitka, Alaska which means the species of bear in the video is a coastal brown bear, one of several sub-species of brown bears that are often referred to as “grizzlies.” The dog owner says he frequently sees bears in the area, but never up this close. He posted on social media: “We have lots of bears, though I’ve never seen them engage this closely. Changing Pretty’s name to Legend! He’s always been a good bear dog.”
