A french bulldog named Jewels received extra treats from her owner after she managed to chase off two 7-stone bears that had sneaked their way into her garden.

The whole episode was caught on a CCTV camera, that Jewel's owner, David Hernandez, had set up to keep an eye on the bears that had been damaging his property.

When two managed to make it into his garden in broad daylight, Jewels responded - running at the bears, which were five times her size, without hesitation, and barking at them until they fled.

Hernandez, who lives in Monrovia, California, told local news channel WSBT-TV: "It blew me away, I couldn't believe that she turned into a wolverine."

As well as all the treats she could eat, Jewels was rewarded with a bath for her valiant actions.
