Curry the dog has reportedly been scaring off bears and other animals for the past five years Watch video
Curry the dog is a very good boy.
A video reportedly taken on Sept. 2 in New Jersey shows the dog scaring away a black bear, something he's been doing for more than five years.
"Most bears run or stroll quickly away or climb up a tree," Curry's owner said in the video caption. "Not this guy he's a slow mover. This is his second encounter with this bear and Curry wasn't going to let him stay. THIS IS HIS JOB."
The owner, who didn't disclose his name, said Curry has protected his children from "a lot of bears, bears with cubs and coyotes from coming too close when the kids are out."
"He is always the first to see them, he has even (treed) a bobcat that got too close," the owner said. "This dog has saved my kids and a few others many times by being on guard."
