Turf war in Wyckoff, NJ.

Feisty puppy scares off 3 bears in NJ back yard

A 15-pound cocker spaniel-poodle mix named Pawlee scared off a mother bear and her two cubs Sunday morning after they strayed into his owners' back yard.


“Pawlee”, heh? Wasn’t there an enforcer named Paulie on The Sopranos? Yeah, a real tough guy…but sorta weird, too.

First a cat in West Milford trees a bear in 2006 and now a cockapoo in Wyckoff. Don't mess with the innocent looking pets in NJ. They can be the most dangerous of all.

Size doesn't matter I guess if you can act threateningly enough!

Hey! I used to live in Wyckoff...never saw a bear there, though.

Neat story. I sent a link to my dad-he was the Animal Control Warden in Wyckoff for 30 years.
