A heroic moment was caught on surveillance footage when a man stood up to a grizzly bear to protect his girlfriend and dogs.

The couple was walking their dogs around the barn on his property when his dogs stumbled across the bear hiding inside the barn.

He immediately goes for the widely shared "How to Survive a Bear Attack Tips", getting as big as he can and yelling at the bear, as well as letting out some growls.

The man's girlfriend ran back a few steps when the bear suddenly burst out of the barn and into frame, but he was no match for the man.

With a superior drawback, the man brought his arm back to deliver a windup for a slap heard easily on the camera.

The slap surely stunned the bear, because it backed away out of the frame.

After handing off the dog leashes to his girlfriend, the man picks up a shovel and a metal trash can lid, which he bangs together until the bear finally retreats to wherever it came from.
