Tiny poodle chases bear up tree

On Tuesday morning, Rose Hill resident Robert Carroll's daughter was sitting on the porch when she heard rustling noises from the corner of the yard. When a black bear approached her, she yelled, "There's a bear in the backyard!"

Carroll ran outside and thought his daughter could be mistaking the bear for a dog. But sure enough, it was a bear.



But the 150-pound bear proved no match for Little Schmoopie, a skittish three-pound teacup poodle. She sent the bear scrambling up a tree. "The bear was really startled - I was not too worried about the dog at the time," recalled Carroll.

"I was only thinking, bear in yard! Rose Hill? She loves chasing squirrels in the yard, but this is the biggest thing she's chased so far," said Carroll.
