Olivia Unwin, his girlfriend, was there and insisted that she had seen the bear. Dashukewich spotted the bear beneath the deck. It was heavy and tired. The bear was laying on a tarpaulin, and a leaf pile.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u00a0\u201cHe was totally unfazed by everything,\u201d Dashukewich <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/01\/09\/nyregion\/black-bear-hibernating-connecticut.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>. \u201cAs soon as we saw each other he didn\u2019t move, he didn\u2019t react. He\u2019s definitely super comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Dashukewich posted a TikTok video that became viral, with over 15,000,000 views. Marty Bearnard was named by the family. Marty also has an Instagram account.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cHe hasn\u2019t bothered us at all,\u201d Tyler Dashukewich, Vinny\u2019s sister, told The New York Times. \u201cSo we feel like there\u2019s no reason to move him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI turned my head and saw the bear, and we were staring right at each other. It\u2019s pretty crazy,\u201d One of the residents lives in the house. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/newyork\/news\/black-bear-hibernating-under-connecticut-familys-home-hes-super-chill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>According to CBS, the name of the person is not known. \u201cHe\u2019s massive, but he\u2019s super chill. He hasn\u2019t really done much so far.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The children in the Dashukewich family said they\u2019ve seen lots of bears close to the area for years but this was the closest encounter, according to The Times. They said they have been peacefully living close to the bear so far. Tyler Dashukewich explained that the family contacted Connecticut Department of Energy &#038; Environment Protection after they found the animal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThey said to just leave him alone, let him be, as long as he\u2019s not creating a disturbance or, you know, bothering anybody,\u201d Vinny Dashukewich <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wmur.com\/article\/plainville-connecticut-bear-under-home-hibernating\/42443501\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It looked like a black bear, according to the group. Tyler Dashukewich explained to the family that they had two options: either try to get Marty away or let him relax in that area until he finishes his hibernation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWe get 10-20 reports of bears denning under porches every year, and we have never had a negative incident that occurred as a result of this,\u201d Jason Hawley is a wildlife biologist for the department and spoke to the Times via email. He said that the group recommends that people allow bears to stay there until they leave. This usually happens around April.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A family in Connecticut had a surprise waiting for them under a deck at their home when their son\u2019s dog discovered a bear hibernating on their property.\u00a0 On December 30, the bear was found when Vinny Dashukewich\u2019s pit bull, Cali, started growling close to an elevated deck outside of the home.
