Watch: French bulldog chases 2 bears from California home

Video footage of a 20-pound French bulldog courageously protecting her California home from two bears has her owner howling.

David Hernandez said he had just installed security cameras at his Los Angeles-area home because bears had been damaging his property, reported WSBT-TV.

From the footage, he learned that his pint-sized pup, Jewels, is braver than he ever imagined.

"It blew me away. I couldn’t believe it that she turned into a wolverine,” Hernandez said to the station.

Jewels confronted the bears and chased them up and down the stairs of Hernandez’s porch until the trespassers hopped over the gate and fled the scene.

At least one of the bears was estimated to weigh about 100 pounds.

The foothills above Monrovia are home to bears, mountain lions, bobcats, coyotes and deer that occasionally venture into the area’s residential neighborhoods, according to the city’s official site.

Jewels was reportedly rewarded for her fearlessness with a bath and doggie treats.

The video went viral over the weekend, prompting many to repeat the motivational saying, “Its not the size of the dog in the fight; it’s the size of the fight in the dog.”
