Heroic Husky Saves Boy from Charging Bear in Dramatic Encounter

A family dog pulled off an act of bravery over the weekend, leaping in between a charging bear and a young child.

Video from Jeffrey Tazzara's home security system, licensed by Storyful, shows a young boy standing in the driveway outside Tazzara's home as a black bear appears, running toward the child at a high speed.

As the boy backs away, the family's husky runs over from across the yard and can be seen chasing the bear away, circling behind the animal and placing itself in between the bear and the boy.
