The bear, who clearly had the size advantage, was unsure of what to make of the little barking dog, and appeared at first ready to try climbing a tree.

However, when Jersey lunged at the bear, it decided to make a run for it. But Jersey wasn’t ready to let the bruin go quietly.
In the video, he can be seen barking as he chases the bear, causing it to stumble and fall to the ground.
The bear gets up quickly and escapes safely into the woods.
