Jarod braves the bear

Jarod is a lovable, cuddly Chow, not the unlikely hero you would expect.

Her owner, Donna Perreault and her other Chow Meesha were being attacked by a bear near her home in Genelle, British Columbia, Canada.  Jarod came to the rescue, lunging at the bear and allowing Donna and Meesha to escape.  For his efforts, Jarod received an award at a Purina Animal Hall of Fame ceremony in Toronto.  Donna initially saved Jarod from a shelter.  Jarod returned the favor.
