A PET pooch, dubbed the world’s bravest dog, was filmed saving its owner from a rampaging wild bear.
The astonishing footage of the encounter was published on social media and went viral online – but who do you think wins?
The pair clashed in the snow in the Turkish town of Uludag mere moments after the dog’s owner had fled the scene.
According to local reports, the hungry bear approached the built-up area from a nearby mountain forest in search of food.
The owner was out walking the two dogs before he spotted the beast approaching from up ahead.
CCTV footage captured the moment he noticed something in the distance, before running away out of shot.
Meanwhile, his two dogs are seen being chased by a young bear before stopping to stand their ground.
One dog appears to look on in the background as its pal takes on the bear.
The pair locked paws several times before the bear shakes off its opponents advances and chases it away.
The clip concludes as the two dogs run out of view and the bear wanders off in the direction it came from.
Reports said neither the bear nor the dog showed signs of any wounds after the brawl.
The incident comes just months after the reverse scenario played out in Florida at the expense of one brave pet owner.
Walter Hickox was captured brawling a bear on his front porch in order to protect his wife, Kerry Rubino Hickox, and their three dogs.
He told WFTV: “Not a lot went through my head at the moment, other than what’s going to happen if he gets past me and into the house where the rest of my dogs and my wife was at.”
His wife and dogs were unharmed in the incident.
