Bear Exchanges Deer Bones With Guard Dog to Be Granted Access to This Man’s Trash
Some trash runs are more eventful than others, and this one involved a bear, a guard dog, and a very strange trade. A Twitter user shared how his dog apparently accepted deer bones as payment so a local bear could get access to the trash, turning an ordinary backyard problem into a wildly funny standoff.
The story centers on a man, his dog Brick, and a bear that seemed to understand the value of a good bribe. What makes it even better is how casually the whole thing unfolded, as if this were just another day in the neighborhood.
By the end, the only real question is whether Brick was guarding the trash or running a business.
The Bribe-Accepting Pupper Himself
Jesse posted to Twitter one day that his dog Brickleberry is a bad guard dog, as he has reportedly been making deals with a bear, allowing him to go through the bins in exchange for deer bones.

The Dog Has Been Bought!

Enjoying the Bone.
According to his owner, Brick is a...
“mastiff/hound mutt with some beagle in him, and is the best boy. He is great with kids and apparently bears.”
Jesse has taken care of the dog since his mother passed away days after his birth.

Chowing Down

Evidence from the Crime Scene
The tweet gained over 35,000 retweets in one day.

Is He Not Up for the Job?

Regardless, Brick is Apparently a Very Good Boy.
