AVON, Conn. (WTNH) — An Avon man’s home security camera caught his fearless goldendoodle chasing a very frightened black bear in his backyard Thursday morning.
Crimson, a 7-year-old rescue from Alabama, was not happy about the visitor. The video shows the goldendoodle chasing the bear, then standing by the edge of the property to make sure the bear didn’t come back.
