Bear-y Unexpected Visitors

Occurred on June 23, 2018 / Soldotna, Alaska, USA

Info from Licensor: "We were asleep when we heard our 2 labs go absolutely nuts barking and growling. As we sat up in bed we heard several loud booms like something was hitting the backside of the house. We both jumped out of bed and ran to the kithchen/garage door, opened it and both of our dogs charged into the house. We didn't see anything in the garage and the outside door was closed. My husband went to investigate and I sat down to try and figure out how to use our newly installed Night Owl security cameras. He came in and said he couldn't see anything then went back out to investigate again. I finally got the camera replay figured out and then we saw who our visitors were. Was pretty scary when we saw that we had 4 brown bears in our yard and that the sow had actually made it most of the way into the garage. We were glad she hadn't made it all of the way in and had the door shut behind her. From the replay we could see that our 'watch dogs' had finally heard the bear family outside our house and when responding with their barking, had probably jumped up on the garage door to look out the window. They saw momma, she saw them and maybe part of her reflection and then she went into protection mode. Looks like it only took her two hits to break the door frame. But she didn't break the window out of the door. We did clean up some of her saliva off the window. They haven't been back and we're OK with that."
