All this while the dog's owner, Zoe Cadman, lay fast asleep.
The nail-biting moment, which saw the hairy intruder roam around the house for almost half an hour, was caught on Zoe's home security cam.
Unprovoked, the bear is then seen wandering over to the fridge and raid its contents before making its way out - leaving both Zoe and Doodle unscathed.
Fit with a massive collar, it's not clear whether the bear was being monitored or if it belonged to anyone.
But neighbors suggest the enormous creature is a frequent visitor.
One local told NBC Los Angeles: "It's part of living up here. We're really close to the mountains and they were here first.
"But luckily, knock on wood, they've all been really friendly coming through here."
This isn't the first time nosy bears have come up close and personal with humans.
Last year, disturbing footage showed the moment a man was savagely attacked by a raging 40st bear at a zoo.
The man climbed the 13ft enclosure and jumped into the bear pit before the beast tossed him around like a rag doll.
Footage shot by shocked visitors shows the bear pouncing on the man, said to be in his mid-20s, before grabbing him and clamping its jaws around his shoulders.
Bloodthirsty bear leaves only woman's severed head behind in vicious attack as victim's last moments captured on CCTV
He was seen bleeding from the head, arms and left hand after the brutal attack while the emergency services scrambled into action.
Around 40 bear attacks take place around the globe every year - and some of them turn out to be fatal.
Last year, a massive brown bear fatally mauled a father and son after the raging beast broke into their home.
The man-eating bear broke into the house in Luchegorsk, Primorsky region in eastern Russia, killing and eating the pair, aged 87 and 56.
Meanwhile, another man was savagely mauled to death by a wild brown bear as he picked mushrooms in a forest in Slovakia.
The beast tore one of the victim's main arteries with just its paw, the rescuers' report claims.
Despite an emergency chopper being able to locate the man in the tricky terrain, they were too late and couldn't save him.
Another woman was left dead and five others injured after two separate bear attacks just hours apart in Slovakia.
Meanwhile, a Belarusian woman was found dead in the Low Tatras mountains while five others were injured by a rampaging bear just eight miles away in Liptovsky Mikulas.
In a shocking case, a hoverboard-riding circus bear attacked its handler during a cruel show in front of screaming families in Russia.
The raging female bear suddenly became agitated and lunged at the circus performer during a show packed with kids and parents in Biysk.
The captive animal launched itself at Sergei Prichinich, 48, after she seemed fed up of having to perform on the hoverboard.

Shock moment pro-Palestine protesters break into RAF Brize Norton & spray 2 military planes with paint before escaping
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS is the shocking moment two pro-Palestinian activists broke into an RAF base undetected and sprayed red paint on two military aircraft. In a video posted online by Palestine Action this morning, two people can be seen on the apron at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire, with one riding up on a scooter to an Airbus Voyager air-to-air refuelling tanker. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Footage shows the protestors appearing to spray red paint into the jet engine of one Airbus Voyager aircraft at the military base Credit: x 3 The clip also shows the activists roaming freely around the airbase Credit: x The protestor appears to spray paint into one of the jet engines in the clip before then roaming free across the grounds of the airbase. In a post on social media today condemning the UK's military action in the Middle East, the group referenced RAF flights over Gaza departing from the force's base - RAF Akrotiri - in Cyprus. It also claimed its activists had put the supply planes "out of service" while managing to "evade security and arrest". The Ministry of Defence has strongly condemned the "vandalism of Royal Air Force assets" and said it was working closely with the police, who are investigating. Palestine Action said its two activists, who had broken into the largest air force base in Britain, used electric scooters to get around the base. It added that they had repurposed fire extinguishers to spray red paint into the engines of two Airbus Voyager aircraft and caused further damage using crowbars. More to follow...

Shocking moment PSG fan stamps on Botafogo supporter's head in sick stadium brawl during Club World Cup clash
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS is the shocking moment a mass brawl broke out between PSG and Botafogo fans. The horrific scenes took place as the Champions League winners lost 1-0 to the Brazilian giants at the Club World Cup. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 A mass brawl started before the game between PSG and Botafogo Credit: @r9carloss 7 Punches were thrown from both club's supporters Credit: @r9carloss 7 Fans begged for the attacks to stop Credit: @r9carloss 7 One PSG fan stamped on another's head Credit: @r9carloss 7 It is unclear what caused the brawl Credit: @r9carloss But before kick-off at the iconic Rose Bowl Stadium in California last night, violence erupted between supporters in the stands. PSG and Botafogo fans threw punches at each other with around 25 people seemingly involved. The ugly scenes saw two Parisians attack a single Botafogo supporter and continue after he dropped to the floor. Other fans stopped the duo before a man in a Botafogo shirt then attacked them. It led to several people falling over and as they were on the deck, a different member of the PSG faithful kicked and stamped on someone's head in a sickening assault. Another was seen punching a man repeatedly while he was down. There was shockingly no stewards or police on the scene to stop the fight. And many other supporters not looking for trouble are seen running away from the melee. It remains unclear what began the brawl or the injuries sustained. PSG supporters were involved in violence after winning the Champions League final last month. The victory led to cars being set on fire and clashes with riot cops back in the French capital, with over 500 arrests and 200 people injured. On the pitch last night, Nottingham Forest target Igor Jesus scored the only goal in a shock win for Botafogo, who now top Group B after two wins. They look set to go through with PSG and Atletico Madrid battling it out for second place. 7 The match finished 1-0 to Botafogo Credit: @r9carloss
