She said that the large mammal didn’t cause any damage – just a tufts fur and dog food scattered throughout her home. 

“No damage, he did however get in the bag of dog food and left trails of it all over the house, as well as a lot of fur!” Houlis told Fox News Digital.

 According to Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environment Protection (DEEP), black bears have a keen sense of smell.

“The black bear is an intelligent animal with keen senses of smell and hearing,” the DEEP says on it’s website. “It can detect the slightest aroma of food, which may lead the bear to campsites and near homes.”
