Zoe Caldman's 17-year-old dog named Doodle tried to bark and scare the bear away when it walked into the living room, but it was completely unfazed. Cadman even tried to scream, still ineffective as the creature wandered through her property.
It eventually left, but neighbors say that wasn't the bear's first unexpected visit of the day. They say that the same bear ransacked freezers, strolled through kitchens and even took a dip in one swimming pool on on Saturday — all on the same street.
