GREENVILLE COUNTY, S.C. — Southern hospitality is so ingrained in the Carolinas, even the animals know to use their manners.

A South Carolina woman captured video of a bear reaching for her doorbell on the front porch of her home.

No one answered, leading the bear to walk away disappointed.

The ordeal happened at 3:30 a.m. at Wendy Watson's home in Greenville County.

Watson woke up later that morning and noticed a couple of damaged bird feeders. Then she checked her doorbell cam.

"I think I might have screamed a little like 'oh my gosh!'" she said.

The Daily Mail dubbed the bear, "Ringy the Pooh"

The bear even left a noseprint on the camera.
