Animal experts in Croatia say a bear has learned how to trick people to let him in by knocking at the door.
They believe the 35-stone brown bear probably learned the trick while nudging a door to get it to open.
Experts speculate the nudging was mistaken by the owners for knocking and that the bear, pleased by the outcome, repeated the tactic.
The Loknar family from Gerovo in western Croatia said the bear had knocked at their door three times and they were now refusing to answer the door.

Two bears standing at the front door, through the picture window you can see a guy sitting in his chair watching TV.
One bear turns to the other and says, "darndest thing I've ever seen, Ralph. You just push this (door bell) and out pops a snack!"
Wish I would've kept a copy.

How very proper.
I guess this bear was tired of $hitting in the woods :-)

We had a Labrador that learned to ring the doorbell when he wanted to come in. We didn't teach it to him, he learned it by accident.
