WATCH: Brave dog named Thor scares bear off porch in New Hampshire

NORTH HAVERHILL, N.H. — A brave dog named Thor was caught on video scaring a bear off the porch off a home in New Hampshire last week.

Ring video shared by a resident of North Haverhill captured the moment the 13-year-old dog came face-to-face with the brazen bruin.

The bear could be seen lurking on the porch around 1 a.m. when Thor suddenly approached and started barking loudly.

Thor continued to bark and growl ferociously before the bear eventually decided to walk down the steps of the porch and vacate the area.

After the tense standoff came to an end, the homeowner could be heard saying, “Good boy, Thor. Good boy.”

In Massachusetts, residents of the Merrimack Valley were asked to take precautions after black bear sightings in two towns.
