(WSVN) - A Connecticut family was stunned to find a black bear hibernating near their home.
The homeowner, Vincent Dashukewich realized something was off when he saw his dog acting strange near the pool.
When he went to see what the fuss was all about, he couldn’t believe his eyes as a black bear got cozy under the pool deck.
“My dog started growling,” said Dashukewich. “That’s when my girlfriend you know, got scared and ran to the house and I turned my head and saw the bear and we were staring right at each other so, it’s pretty crazy. He hasn’t done anything so far. So we’re just going to let him be and keep to himself.”
Dashukewich also named the bear Marty and created social media accounts for the bear, where some videos have already gone viral.
