In the ever popular battle of which animal makes the best pet, Dogs made a big claim for the title thanks to a family pet in Vancouver.
West Vancouver police are speaking highly of a family pet that held a wandering bear at bay, protecting four kids in a tree house.
The bear which had crashed into the yard looking for fruit found itself distracted by the dog, while the homeowner and probably frantic Mom or Dad banged pots and pans to scare off the hungry Bruin.
No word on whether there was a cat around the house, but if so, it no doubt was watching in a disinterested fashion waiting for things to settle down and snacks to be served.
