While they were keeping watch on the bear, two poodles chased the bear up a tree.
The bear appeared to be resting.
"It's kinda neat when you see it in the neighborhood," a resident told KDVR. "Then you start thinking about that you don't want anything bad to happen."
In order to prevent bear sightings in domestic places in the future, the Division of Wildlife advises residents not to put out food, secure trash, clean barbecues of any food residue and pick fruit off trees before it ripens.
