Mother Bear Defends Triplets From Dog

Occurred on June 22, 2021 / Sautee Nacoochee, Georgia, USA

Info from Licensor: "Our dog Spunky lives up to his name scaring the many black bears that visit our home on a regular basis in the North Georgia Mountains. A group of cubs was hiding behind our cars unbeknownst to us. When letting Spunky out, he sensed the cubs were behind our car and went after them. The mama bear, at the end of the driveway, made a bluff charge at Spunky to scare him off. It took a lot of yelling but eventually, he came back to our patio safe and sound. A regular occurrence here with this Mama bear and cubs visiting our neighborhood due to the neighborhood trash cans. I was able to scare the Mama bear by yelling at her but it took a bit before she was able to gather her cubs from the tree."
