it appears the Mother bear actually lifted one of the smaller dogs, but I can't recally be sure from that angle.
I saw the same thing.
The dog may have been thought of as a snack, and seemed almost compliant to being picked up, contrary to the other, bigger dog that dodged the swipes.
That girls has ovaries!
Not to minimize her actions, but I imagine that bear, even with cubs present, was a little on the docile side.
The bear turned tail (literally) but had it been angry, I wonder if it would have breeched the residence.
Anyway, :whew::

This is one of those adrenalin stories, like the one we've all heard where someone lifts a car to rescue their kid. She wasn't thinking about anything except that her dogs might get hurt/eaten.
Years ago, I was walking along a promenade on the harbor with my Lab on a leash. There was no rail or anything, and my dog went over (I don't know if he wanted a swim or if he saw a duck or what) and was dangling from the leash with the collar choking him. I have zero upper body strength and that dog weighed about 90 pounds, but rather than let go I instinctively and immediately yanked him back onto the promenade with one pull as if he was a nine-pound perch.

Dumb question, but why/how was there a mother bear and cubs on what looks like a second story patio? (It looks like she would have had to climb up the tree to get there.) And pardon the pun, but who let the dogs out?

Not second story, house is on a slope. You a can tree growing in the yard to the right and an angled fence leading up to a white gate on the left. To the left of the gate is a tree the bears probably climbed up to get onto the wall (bears can climb trees).
The dogs probably already had free access to the yard and ran out as soon as they became aware of the bears (dogs defend their pack and territory).
Hard for me to tell from the video, but this looked like the top of a house, rather than a yard -- what is that weird rectangular flat area to the right?

yes really "interesting" question. No second story. You can see the camera is slightly tilted, the plans are not vertical. Not sure how you get the idea there is a second story. You can even see the fence Gond down at 45 degree. Perhaps better to watch the STATIC image before the video starts.
I did. From the static image, it makes it appear that there is some height involved ... if the large flat area to the right is the roof of a carport, and the car itself is below that.

Just curious; are you still thinking this is happening in a second story patio, despite the several posts above explaining how it is not?
No, I believe you guys, it just doesn't look that way to me from the video. But then, I'm not familiar with houses in that part of the country.

I still don't really understand the layout of that house. If that's their yard, then why is the ceiling of the carport at apparently the same height?

You must have seen housing built on a slope before; it's done around the world.
Downhill can easily be one full story.
And that would be the roof of their carport, not the ceiling.

Not as common as you might think, there are a lot of parts of the country (including mine) which are relatively flat.
And ceiling, roof, you're being too literal, check out definition #8: [www.dictionary.com] .

Because both houses are built on a hillside.
The street running in front of both houses is sloped. The house on the left is on the higher side; the house on the left is on the lower side. It just so happens that between the degree of the slope and the grading that was done for each individual house, the roof of one house is on the same level as the yard of the next house. As others have stated, not too unusual in areas developed in hilly or mountainous areas... but probably not too common in flat areas.
It is what it is.

Thank you, that makes a whole lot more sense now. (I think you meant that the house on the *right* is on the lower side...?)
And yes, not common at all in the various places that I've lived... in the places where I've lived that are hilly like that, the houses are usually spaced very far apart from each other.

Again, as I said, I've seen buildings built on hills, but not all right next to each other like this. It would strike me as weird that the first floor of one house is equivalent in height to the second floor in the adjacent house, etc., and I could imagine this might pose some problems from (among other things) the privacy perspective.
