An idea hit him. He rushed to the doorbell camera, pulling up the footage. The screen flickered to life, showing the front yard bathed in moonlight.
At first, it was quiet. Then, the video captured something large moving toward the house. It was a bear, its massive body blocking the camera’s view of the yard.

But then, the scene shifted. Pip appeared in the frame, her brown fur glowing in the dark. She wasn’t running away. No, she stood tall and proud at the edge of the porch, staring down the bear. The footage was grainy, but Peter could see it clearly: the cat was not backing down.
“Oh no” he whispered, what if something happened to Pip, bears were incredibly dangerous animals.
