Bear Comes Nose-to-Nose with 17-Year-Old Dog During California Home Invasion
- A black bear entered several homes and properties on a Monrovia street during broad daylight on Saturday, confronting a 17-year-old dog named Doodle.
- This incident followed a series of increased bear sightings in the foothills after the Eaton Fire destroyed thousands of acres earlier this year.
- The bear ransacked freezers, ate ice cream and pizza, took a dip in a pool, ignored attempts by police to scare it off, and was finally warded off with ammonia-soaked rags.
- Alice Atkins described the bear opening her freezer and eating pancetta and bacon, while neighbors tried banging pots; Austin Hart said, "It's part of living up here."
- Wildlife officials advise locking doors and using bear-proof containers to prevent encounters, noting the bear may be relocated if it keeps returning to residential areas.
