A dog took on a bear twice its size that was intruding in a California backyard.

The bear was making itself at home by taking a dip in the pool, eating fruit from the trees and relaxing at the California residence Tuesday, KABC reported.

Despite its size, the spunky dog was having none of it and went after the bear.

The pup chased the intruder out of the backyard, but not the neighborhood. Other families said they spotted the bear later and said they see it around fairly regularly, KABC reported.
