A Yorkshire terrier named Benny successfully chased a bear into a tree in a North Carolina backyard, but the little dog’s owner was not pleased. Local WLOS News recently shared the footage, which shows the Yorkie running circles around a bear as the larger animal hesitantly watches the dog and climbs up.

However, as Benny’s owner knows quite well, if the bear got truly aggravated, it would be game over for the dog. Thankfully, that did not happen.

“This little Yorkie chased a bear up a tree in Buncombe County, N.C.,” wrote WLOS in its Instagram post. “Thank you to John and KC Murdoch for sharing.”

“It doesn’t matter the size of the dog in the fight! It only matters about the size of fight in the dog!! Get em Benny,” wrote one person in the comments section.
