Hell hath no fury like a dog mom protecting her babies, even from a mama bear looking out for her cubs.

In the ensuing chaos, barking is heard, and about four dogs are seen running toward the bears.

The two cubs scamper off, leaving the mama bear to stand its ground atop the wall. One dog — the largest of the lot — can be seen barking closest to the bear.

It tries to swipe at the dog's head three times, but the nifty canine dodges the potentially devastating blows.

The smaller dogs scurry around, raising the dirt, and their owner charges in as if out of nowhere. She pushes the bear, which loses balance and slips off.

The woman fumbles as she tries to pick up one of the tiny dogs but manages to get one in her grasp and runs off to safety with the rest.

After getting back on the wall, the bear scurries off after her cubs, too, with the woman glancing back quickly to see it leave the perimeter wall.
