A brave dog chased a bear three times his size off his owner's property near Naples and it was all caught on camera.

A neighbor in the Golden Gate community filmed the whole thing.

The Pitbull mix protected his family and property by chasing the black bear away.

The owner says the dog felt threatened by the bear so he did his job.

But the owner wasn't surprised to see the video because the dog routinely chases black bears.

Florida Fish and Wildlife says bears can be avoided by keeping any food inside and securely stored.
