That dog is lucky the bear was in a good mood.
That thing is absolutely monstrous.
It’s not just “A” dog, it’s several. And several bears. And it wasn’t a single incident, it’s been going on for years. As the bears are going from their winter digs to their summer hunting grounds, they always stop by to spend a few days with the dogs.
This was in a segment of “Nature’s Weirdest Videos.” Only more intelligent animals engage in play and the theory they put forth is that they actually crave it. The bears were intelligent enough that they could recognize a similar trait in the dogs. Apparently the bears decided they’d rather have the dogs for playmates than for their supper.
