A hungry bear tried to crawl into a Washington woman’s home through her dog door, according to video of the attempted break-in.
North Bend resident Amy Hold found the large bear prowling for a snack on her back porch around 10pm Wednesday after catching the furry visitor on security camera.
“The video was really entertaining, but also made me a little worried about waking up in bed with a bear next to me,” Holt told KOMO.
Holt’s footage posted online shows the bear carefully climbing over the porch railing and standing on its hind legs, sniffing around.
It then went down to the porch and peered through the window.
Bruise, who has visited the house before, can be seen sniffing around the back door and sticking his snout – and giant paw – repeatedly through the doggie door flap.

After banging on the door a few more times, the defeated bear climbed off the porch and walked into the darkness, the clip showed.
Holt said that his two large dogs did nothing when the bear tried to attack.
“Our dog never barks, although he makes a little noise with the doggie door,” she wrote in a social media post.
“We kept shouting at him and making noise, but it didn’t seem to bother him that much,” he added.

Holt and her husband are used to wildlife in their rural community and believe a bird feeder left outside may spark the bear’s curiosity.
“We’ve had bears caught on our security cameras in the past, but they’ve never been intrusive,” Holt added. “We usually bring our bird feeders out at night so as not to tempt them, and we keep our garbage in our garage.”
He said he would try and do better for food and litter – and urged his neighbors to do the same.
“If bears don’t have anything to eat, they’ll move along,” Holt said. “We don’t want a bear to have to be put down because it’s a nuisance.”
