A California teen girl got the scare of her life after a bear attempted to break into her back yard, but she managed to shove the wild animal off her wall in a move to save her dogs.
In the clip posted Tuesday by TikToker bakedlikepie, a bear is seen walking atop the yard’s wall at a home in Bradford, California, with cubs in tow, while a group of pet dogs attempt to fight it off.
The wild animal paws menacingly at one of the dogs while her cubs scamper away, right as a woman, identified only as 17-year-old Hailey in the TikTok caption by her cousin Stephanie Lopez Villalobos, rushes to her dogs’ rescue.
Fellow TikTokers noted how fast the woman was able to jump into action to protect her pets, while commending her for bravery and quick-thinking.
‘Can you please post cousin Hailey’s workout routine?’ a commenter named Lexie quipped.
‘You are dog mom of the century,’ another TikToker commented.
‘Kudos to the dog mom, that’s fierce.’
While they are not usually aggressive, black bears can attack humans to protect their cubs or when foraging for food.
