Hey Dude!  You are the apex predator here.  Apparently one bear in Hickory, North Carolina forgot that he could probably take the family dog if he wanted to. A black bear was frightened into scurrying up a tree after the family dog barked at it him.

Luckily for us the family has it all on video. This happened  on 29th avenue in Hickory where not only an intrepid family dog lives but a goat lives there too.  The goat wanted in on the act and started bleating at the bear.  Well he for sure did not want any part of the dog OR the goat.

Want to find out if the bear ever came down?  I know I do!
