A family in Connecticut found a black bear relaxing underneath their backyard deck, and they're planning on letting him remain there until the end of his hibernation period.
When the dog began acting scared and avoiding the backyard deck, Vincent Dashukewich found a bear taking shelter, Vincent's sister, Tyler Dashukewich, told Fox News Digital (SEE THE VIDEO at the top of this article). Sydney Borchers is a lifestyle production assistant with Fox News Digital.
The family said they contacted the Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection, DEEP.
