Noticing that her backyard's gate was cracked open, Hazard became distraught.

"After about 15 or 20 minutes I was just in tears," the dog owner explained. "Because he’s old, he’s got a heart condition."

"He can’t go far in snow...where could he have gone, right?" she added.

"Great, I am relieved he’s okay – but what’s he doing at a bar?" she added.

Finks Bar is located roughly a mile away from her home, according to FOX 6. The bar's owners believe that Bear was picked up by a group of girls who were bar-hopping and brought him inside.

"They took good care of him, and I guess he was pretty popular," Hazard said.
