Maybe I should get myself a guard dog

I always like to think that I would be bold and daring if I spotted someone trying to make their way into my property, and on one occasion I put this to the test when I spotted an evil fox raiding my bins. I had just driven home after an evening out and I ferociously revved my engine to scare the hooligan away.

Mind you, if I hadn’t been in the safety of my car, I doubt I would have summoned enough courage to frighten the animal off on my own!

However, a few dogs in Siberia have shown that they have a lot more bravery than I’ll ever have.

Reportedly, when some dogs of Bely Island saw a polar bear approaching a weather station, they leapt to the rescue of four workers and charged towards the bear.

The dogs didn’t stop until the offending polar bear was lying in a cowardly heap on the ground.

Well, I definitely didn’t have that effect on the thieving fox I spotted!
