A black bear got the shock of its life after it wandered into a Vancouver home and came face to face with an unlikely adversary - a feisty, six–pound Pomeranian.

Home surveillance footage captured the incredible moment when the young black bear strolled into the home's living room, appearing to explore the space and sniff around a couch just before facing off with the protective pet.

Just as the wild intruder was getting comfortable, a tiny ball of fluff came flying down a hallway, yelping and barking in a full–blown frenzy.

The bear, despite being many times the size of its attacker, immediately turned tail and beelined for the door as the 3-year-old Pomeranian named Scout charged after it with fearless determination.

Scout's owner, Kayla Kleine, could be seen sprinting behind her brave pup, shouting after him.
