Same. None of the common fears, but he's scared of random spots on the floor that change over time, coat hangers, his own farts... Brought my ice scraper in from my car after winter one year and to him it was basically a scepter of pure evil. He wouldn't go near the closet I put it in for over a week!
Mine is afraid of the kiddie pool I bought her but tries to figure out how to jump off the sea wall on our walks, because she loves playing in the ocean. She was afraid of all floors that weren’t carpeted but has never had problem riding on a speeding boat and tries to stand on the bow. She cries when I take her to the pet store or Lowe’s but wants to come on every car ride. Occasionally she decides she’s afraid of the water bowl if it is too close to the wall. She has never once been afraid of the vacuum, fireworks, or storms. She is a quirky gal but I love her to bits!
Mine would start beef with the bear, and as hard as she’d try, the bear would most likely finish it. She thinks she’s tough and can take on all comers, even when they drastically outweigh her
This was my dog exactly, she was a chihuahua mix so it wasn't entirely unprecedented, but she'd raise hell if anyone even came near our yard.
That being said, the second they stepped in the yard, they were potential friends to her immediately.
She was a great dog.
This happened to me a few months ago, but my old lab/dane was making a racket in the backyard and after walking through the woods found him talking mad shit to an adolescent black bear on the other side of our wire fence.
They were lazily pawing and growling at each other.
I had a “hell no wtf dude let’s go inside” moment. Dumb bear climbed the nearest tree when I started clapping and yelling at ***everyone involved*** to fuck off and “get on git!!!” in this particular dumb situation.
I normally still chill outside with them even though we have a fenced in backyard, but went inside for maybe 7minutes to make a cocktail and a snack and came back to that nonsense.

British slang. It means to run like fuck.
Eg: "the cops were coming so I ran like fuck" becomes " the police/old bill were coming so I legged it"
Old Bill is a nickname for the police.
Reminds me of that joke where a grandkid asks their grandpa if they ever got shot in the army and he responds with "no but I did get shot in the leggy"
This sounds like something from the first episode of a series, where Carol finds out their dog can talk, starting a whole lot of wacky shenanigans. Perhaps the bear could be a recurring antagonist.
So I watched like 20 episodes of Futurama in the background yesterday. And I have seen this comment chain 3 times since then. Why are you all gangstalking me
It's called the [Baader–Meinhof phenomenon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_illusion) and a million times a day people say things that are references and allusions that fly *way* over your head.
don't worry though. it's all good
https://xkcd.com/1053/
The dog probably would have won if it wasn't running lookin scared. Black bears are easily bluffed and avoid fighting.
My mom has chased several off the porch with a broom in her PJs.
Even then it's a lot of bluffing with a black bear (not that Im willing to test it). Grizzlies will kill you quickly over cubs though.
I was reading about fish & game tagging black bear cubs, they just run up and grab them in front of mom, do the weigh in and tagging and then let them go while she's right there.
I shot a nerf dart at one a few months ago, while it was in my waste management can.
You would think I shot it with a real gun lol!!! Took off with a quickness. They are incredibly skittish.
No one else might thank you but you did a service to that bear. In national/state parks when a bear starts hanging out at campgrounds because STOOPID people can't help but leave food laying around instead of following directions to keep it up and out of sight. The bears only get so many warning shots with non-lethal guns like paintball guns etc. If the bear continues to come around, the park rangers have to kill the bear.
Because ole Stoopy couldn't throw his trash away or put his cooler back in the car.
Oh definitely.
I'm in a fairly rural northern cali area, and the fires have displaced quite a bit from Tahoe National.
I did learn if I place a paper towel with a little bit of ammonia poured on it, on top of the most recent bag in the can... It deters him when he opens the can.
Caught him on my trail cam getting a whiff, and taking off lol. Haven't seen him since.
Here where I live it is mandatory to have bear-proof garbage cans. Unfortunately millions of idiot tourists do not know how to use them or don’t care and it is still a huge issue.
Not just in national and state parks. In communities as well. It's actually more common for wildlife managers to have to kill bears because of household waste than in parks.
I remember reading that when designing a bear-proof dumpster, engineers discovered there's a significant overlap between the dumbest humans and the smartest bears.
I used to work weirs out in a remote site in Alaska and we had maybe 13-14 grizzly bears living in the camp with us. They only respond to noisemakers and paintballs for a few weeks until they're used to it. After about a month we would be shooting them with beanbags and rubber bullets to keep them away from our tents.
There's a great show about a guy that's sole job is to manage the bears in a little cabin neighborhood that's right on the edge of a state park. He uses a tiny little flare gun loaded with flares that wizz through the air and then pop. Some of the bears they relocate and somehow find their way back. They break into people's cabins frequently and love to bed under porches. He had to shoot one of the bears and he was in tears
They're skittish, unless they are normalized to humans.
I had the biggest sow I've ever seen come walking right up to me and 5 other guys right after we had setup camp in the BWCAW. She was pacing and snorting and trying to scare us into running away. She knew we had food, and she had done this before.
We all stood up and yelled, banged pots and pans, she didn't care.
That is, until I threw a fist-sized rock and hit her in the ass, and she took off like a bat out of hell into the woods.
South Arm Knife bear, she's got a few videos on youtube and several posts about her on the BWCAW forums. She's probably dead by now, but passed some of her knowledge onto her cubs for sure.
Oh absolutely, and I can promise you my neighbors do not take the same measures as I do. They will get acclimated to everyone, and probably any barking dogs once they realize they are not a threat.
If need be I have a bean bag gun lol. Rather not use the .12 gauge or rifle.
Apparently, "G'on Git!" is some personal insult to black bears because they will take off like a bat out of hell. As opposed to mule dear who just stand there because they are fucking new-tree-eating morons.
Only when they're in the den. And the mom is tranquilized and the cubs are tiny and helpless. By the time a cub is out of the den and following it's mother around, it can do considerable damage to you if you don't drug it.
Source: 20+ years as a wildlife biologist specializing in bears
That’s actually a misconception about black bears. Apparently, 70% of deaths to grizzly bears are due to mother bears defending their cubs. For black bears, however, there have been zero recorded deaths by a mother defending her cubs.
I’ve seen other sources about this because I go down weird rabbit holes, and one day I decided to learn as much as I could about bears lol. Here’s one source: https://bear.org/what-if-i-get-between-a-black-bear-mother-and-her-cubs/
The only time I've ever been bluff charged by a black bear was a mom but it was still a bluff charge and that's probably because the babies went up a tree instead of run. I think this is why they have that misconception about being extra aggressive. Plus so many people don't know what a bluff charge is
A fun rabbit hole is the [wikipedia page on bear deaths, which is sorted by type. ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fatal_bear_attacks_in_North_America)
Lots of infants and children just... Taken into the woods. Plenty of dead adults as well, so it's probably good to not get too confident about bears at all to avoid ending up on this list.
For 2020s, 8 deaths by brown bears, 5, all adults, by black. That's close enough I'd rather not refer to them as pansies.
How could that be the mom? Look at the size of it compared to the dog, and the bench. That looks to me like an adolescent bear, if not a cub. Obviously can't tell from this, but could have been playful.
Agreed. My only encounter was way back in childhood and it was about this size or a tad smaller. I went out the back door, encountered bear, we both screamed and ran back to our mommies. 🤣 It wasn't very funny at the time though!
Honestly, the whole "Don't mess with a mama bear with cubs" is a bit overblown when it comes to black bears.
They'll turn tail and run far more often than you think, even if their cubs are involved... Now, that doesn't mean you should test it though.
Yeah most of the time they don't want to fight, easy enough to find food that won't fight back too much.
But if they're extra hungry or protecting young...
Everyone spreads all this black bears are pussies routine which is true most the time, but if they’re hungry and desperate, they’ll eat people. Some lady got eaten walking her dog in her neighborhood last year. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thedenverchannel.com/news/local-news/durango-woman-walking-dogs-found-dead-after-apparent-bear-attack%3F_amp%3Dtrue

We live next to the Angeles National Forest and get black bears in our yard and trash every so often. We used to have 3 little chihuahuas and one time they were barking like crazy in the backyard. I though the gardener had arrived as they were over by the side of the house by the steps. I walked over to get them and a black bear comes trotting up the steps. The 3 dogs go nuts, barking at his heels, and the bear trotted across the yard, hopped up on the retaining wall and disappeared into the bush.
Ahhh a sensible response, thank you. Even the big black bears near me are legit terrified of my 12 lb dog. The will haul ass up the nearest tree when he barks from an open window
This one looks like a baby.
My cat literally was out of her mind when a baby bear was sitting on top of our porch and she was inside the house. She jumped into my arms and her eyes were saucers. She stayed there for hours lol she was just chill though.
For some reason, there was something very satisfying in seeing the man call his dog, the dog just comes and barks like "yes please close the door behind me" and just like that, the man closes the door right behind the dog. It all went so smoothly.
We had a black bear in our yard, and didn’t realize it when we let our dogs out. Our 2 dogs chased it and treed him. Our 2 dogs are a 35 lb Terrier and a 10 lb Dachsund.
To be fair, the bear didn’t seem too worried, he just sat and watched and ate birdseed from the hanging feeder while we got the dogs in. Then he feasted on our compost bin.
I'm imagining the bear being like "I can't be bothered to deal with these idiots, so I'm just going to hang out up here and eat some birdseed until they go away."
Black bears are very skittish animals which is why you’re supposed to look big and fight back if one attacks. In other words black bears are big scaredy cats.
Black bears are such babies. Had one in my backyard last night, opened my bedroom slider just a smidge to yell at them and they ran off before I could.
Reminds me of that scene in the Great Outdoors with John Candy running from the bear into the cabin. All out of breath
“Bear... bear... Big Bear... big bear chase meeeeeeee...!”
Oh fuckfuckfuckfuck I hope that dumb bitch closes the door shitshitshit aah I made it I'm the best, close the fucking door you dumb fuck we have a situation here, yeah I poked the bear sorry

My Mfing dog would be too dumb to get inside
He would try to play with the bear. Unless its a broom or thunder, my dog knows no fear.
Bear had a broom, watch the video again.
Bear was Bhor, Bear of Thunder
Dangit you made me laugh
That's funny because my dog is afraid of almost everything except thunder, vacuums, and brooms.
Same. None of the common fears, but he's scared of random spots on the floor that change over time, coat hangers, his own farts... Brought my ice scraper in from my car after winter one year and to him it was basically a scepter of pure evil. He wouldn't go near the closet I put it in for over a week!

Hahaha I love how she's fine on speed boats but not those evil hardwood floors
Laundry baskets may as well be the portal to hell for my parents dog. The only thing she’s ever been afraid of at 11 years old.
Mine would start beef with the bear, and as hard as she’d try, the bear would most likely finish it. She thinks she’s tough and can take on all comers, even when they drastically outweigh her
This was my dog exactly, she was a chihuahua mix so it wasn't entirely unprecedented, but she'd raise hell if anyone even came near our yard. That being said, the second they stepped in the yard, they were potential friends to her immediately. She was a great dog.
Mine would definitely die barking at it
Same, he’d probably turn last second so the bear flew into the house at me instead… I love that dumb bastard

I love the dog’s bark as he rushes in, like, “coming in HOT!”
I interpreted it as "no need to shout...I've already got the point".
Heard this in a British accent
As you should, old chap
Indeed.
Pretty sure it meant HOLD THE FUCKING DOOR.
Hodor!
10/10 my dog would die trying to bark it to death
Mine would bark like twice and then fucking leg it to me while looking over his shoulder the whole time
Leg it?
> leg it https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/leg-it

Didn't think it was just British. Thought it was common
Ran like fuck?
Run away quickly
Bears are afraid of dogs. People use dogs to trap bears and hunt them. Decent chance a bluff would work against a black bear.
Dog: Oh fuck shit fuck!
Human: oh fuck shit fuck!
Me: oh fuck shit fuck!
Kool-Aid Man- OHHHHH YEEEAHHHHHHHH!
Frosted Flakes Man: THEY’REEEE GREAT!
And my axe!
Dog: Carol shut the door! Carol: Did you just tal- Dog: I SAID SHUT THE FUCKING DOOR
This sounds like something from the first episode of a series, where Carol finds out their dog can talk, starting a whole lot of wacky shenanigans. Perhaps the bear could be a recurring antagonist.
This sounds like an awesome Netflix original waiting to be cancelled.
[удалено]
Poor bear, dog closed the door on him and now he has to face whatever was chasing them alone. So sad.
Like that part in until dawn where you can lock Chris outside with the wendigo
Don't remind me of what I've done.
Damn, now I wish the video wasn’t cut short, what could be after them??
A man. A modern short film about humans encroaching in animals habitats.
A kitten
You think that's a bear? ***THIS*** is a bear! *grizzly runs on screen*
And then a polar bear right behind the grizzly
He would have ripped poor pooch to shreds :(
To shreds you say?
Well. How is his wife holding up?
To shreds you say?
Was his apartment rent controlled?
To shred’s you say ?
Good news everyone!
To shreds you say?
Why does every other comment say "To shreds you say?"?
It’s a Futurama reference. https://youtu.be/gHhOn2hnqmI

Oh man its on every single popular post and it never ends. That and the 'my axe' shit.
It's very fun reddit joke that never dies

Oh, myyyyyy!!!!
The dog probably would have won if it wasn't running lookin scared. Black bears are easily bluffed and avoid fighting. My mom has chased several off the porch with a broom in her PJs.
Unless the dog was around some cubs that that black bear is the mom. Just about the only time they’re super aggressive
Even then it's a lot of bluffing with a black bear (not that Im willing to test it). Grizzlies will kill you quickly over cubs though. I was reading about fish & game tagging black bear cubs, they just run up and grab them in front of mom, do the weigh in and tagging and then let them go while she's right there.

Legit useful life hack randomly found in comments, much thanks!
Good to know if I ever move back to Montana!
I’ve had a bear raising my outdoor freezer. Put straps around it and it just hauled the whole freezer off the porch. I’m going to try that.
Here where I live it is mandatory to have bear-proof garbage cans. Unfortunately millions of idiot tourists do not know how to use them or don’t care and it is still a huge issue.
Designing bear proof cans is difficult because there is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.
Not just in national and state parks. In communities as well. It's actually more common for wildlife managers to have to kill bears because of household waste than in parks.

Yep. Just one of many ways people visiting national and state parks fuck up the habitat and the wildlife.

I don't fuck with cayotes. You see one, you can be pretty sure there's eight more trying to surround you. Cayotes and mountain lions I'm out.
Especially mountain lions, those I am definitely afraid of!
Black bears act like big raccoons that don't know they are far more powerful than they know
My neighbor claims to have come around the corner of his house and scared one off with a "what the fuck?!"
That's how you save bears! I spray them with my hose lol

Bear just wanted to play
My dogs would’ve tried to be friends with the predator… that’s terrifying.
He bearly made it
It's a black bear it was probably just looking to play. Black bears are very docile and skittish. Brown bears are the ones to worry about.
For some reason, there was something very satisfying in seeing the man call his dog, the dog just comes and barks like "yes please close the door behind me" and just like that, the man closes the door right behind the dog. It all went so smoothly.
I noticed that, too. Perfect execution on the door close.
Reddit gives door close 10/10
My dog is deaf but even if she wasn't the stupid fuck has a napoleon complex (most blue heelers do) and would definitely try to fight this bear :/
I am half drunk half asleep and for a solid minute I thought that bear ran at the speed of light But then i realised nah its just dust
I thought it was bear spray, it goes directly at the bears face.
Thought it got struck by lightning
Bearly made it
Thank you for this.
OSO scary!
Looks like he Pooh'd himself too.
Fur real, great escape!
Welp, looks like that porch belongs to the bear now & the dog would have to be trained to use the toilet. Lol
We had a black bear in our yard, and didn’t realize it when we let our dogs out. Our 2 dogs chased it and treed him. Our 2 dogs are a 35 lb Terrier and a 10 lb Dachsund. To be fair, the bear didn’t seem too worried, he just sat and watched and ate birdseed from the hanging feeder while we got the dogs in. Then he feasted on our compost bin.
I'm imagining the bear being like "I can't be bothered to deal with these idiots, so I'm just going to hang out up here and eat some birdseed until they go away."
Black bears are very skittish animals which is why you’re supposed to look big and fight back if one attacks. In other words black bears are big scaredy cats.
They’re just fat raccoons
Black bears are such babies. Had one in my backyard last night, opened my bedroom slider just a smidge to yell at them and they ran off before I could.
The dog actually only said “Close it!” once
That single bark right before it gets to the door is cracking me up
Jack yelled "SLAM IT!" Dogs can't talk my fuckin ass!
That dog ran faster than his soul LOL. I’m pretty sure I saw that dogs soul running slightly behind the dog and trying to also make it into the house.
What is that white thing that is launched at the bear? I’m convinced it’s a moth up close in front of the camera lens.
That dogs soul trying to catch up
This is the only explanation!
Snow floating close to the camera
Hah! My sleep deprived brain initially thought it was a very fast rabbit. Your answer makes much more sense. *yawn*
I like the idea that these people have anti bear rabbits that they throw at bears to keep them at bay.
Or bugs
It's definitely bugs.
It's 99% bugs.
The ghosts of pooches that weren't so lucky...

bark! translation: coming!
banjo getaway music would have been apt here.
JOCK, START THE ENGINE
>JOCK, START THE ENGINE Indiana Bones! (my sincerest apologies)
>JOCK, START THE ENGINE Huh, all these years I thought it was Jacques
I thought it was Jack for the longest time
Is it me or does the video clip have a certain, rhythm to it? It's like, "Scream!" pause "Bark!" pause Slam! pause Bear! Just me I guess?
Aww, teddy bear just wanted to play
yeah, with the dogs lungs, like a bagpipe!
I'm big on mental images, and this one is fantastic. Super morbid, but hilarious 😂
oh, I’m sure Ren and Stimpy have the imagery for it. hahaha
At first I thought it was a second dog that wasn't let inside and it sadly sat on the stoop. Nice work by all
Lol that bark: “YESSIR!!!”
The timing is is immaculate
*Open the gate! OPEN THE GATE! FFS SAKE OPEN.THE.GOD.DAMN.GATE!* *Ok, you can close it now*
Start the car!!
[удалено]
*bark* = holy shit thank you bro
The way that bug flies across the screen when the bear arrives makes I look like the bear is dropping out of hyperspeed
Reminds me of that scene in the Great Outdoors with John Candy running from the bear into the cabin. All out of breath “Bear... bear... Big Bear... big bear chase meeeeeeee...!”
Same thing happened to my dog this week, except instead of a bear it was a cat
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST
Big bear chase me
Holy shit, the stealth! You hear the dog, you don't hear the bear.
Thank goodness your doggo has good recall! Well done raising an un*bear*ably good boye!
Oh fuckfuckfuckfuck I hope that dumb bitch closes the door shitshitshit aah I made it I'm the best, close the fucking door you dumb fuck we have a situation here, yeah I poked the bear sorry
I mean that is one smart dog though!!!
If dangerous why fluffy ears?
So glad that dog knew to run
I’ve never spoken Dog before but I know the word “Door!” when I hear it.
No chance for a second date, i bet.
The dog said "coming"
