Pawlee, the NJ cockapoo puppy who scared a bear and her two cubs from her owners' backyard, is officially a star. WCBS 2 visited the Osiason family to find out what family, and apparently the 8-month-old, 15-pound pup "ran up to them and started barking his head off. I thought he was gonna wake up the whole neighborhood." WCBS even uses a clip from the movie Anchorman, noting that the Will Ferrell movie was the last time a dog had saved humans from bears. Pawlee's dogsitter tells the Post, "He's crazy. He has a lot of energy. He's always barking at things." And let's flashback to 2006 when Jack the cat scared a bear up the tree twice (see the photo).
