"Hey, go! Hey bear, GO!" Feigner can be heard yelling multiple times off-screen as he tries to scare the bear away.

The video then cuts to home security footage that shows Feigner’s dog running the bear out of the garage at a break-neck speed, fast enough to cause the bear to trip and tumble several feet across the yard.

Feigner then steps out of the garage with a gun in his hand, pointing it toward the bear as it looks back at him and his dog.
"I ran out to protect my dog if I needed to," Feigner told Storyful.
An estimated 250 black bears live in Anchorage, according to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
