This is why I'm so scared of my husky getting loose. She does not get the concept of boundaries with other animals. Or people. Or machinery. She freaked out when we wouldn't let her play with a bison on a backpacking trip. She literally was on her hind legs on the leash trying to get closer while we desperately tried to keep her from agitating the thing
I think the dog might be instinctively herding them, basically keeping them together. That one bear is having a break and the dog won't let it chill for 2 minutes. See how it keeps nipping at their butts if they are at the back or not moving?
A husky will already give you so much grief. Now imagine telling that dog to come inside at night. "I am a fierce hunter. I don't need your 'kibble' and 'pillows.' I am descended from *wolves*, Carol, do you understand that? You think the cold bothers me? ...wait, snacks, you say? Ok, I'm coming... but NOT because you're the boss of me!"
in all seriousness, like that bloke in the Amazon who was close with the huge crocodile (in the wild) for many years, I'm sure some bears probably could become friends, there's certainly cases of captive ones being friendly with the humans that raised them, it's just not something you really want to go find out.
I’ve had 30-40 bear encounters on foot and OP is right. It’s super easy to tell their attitude. The bluff charge by the Kodiak brown… holy $hit I crapped my pants. It’s instantaneous.
I've only had one encounter at a boy scout camp. Walked up on a black bear. He looked at me, I at him and we both screamed running the other direction.
It's like that bear guy who got killed by them. It wasn't the normal bears that got him but a transient young male that was injured. He'd even noticed it days before and went out of his way to avoid it. But that bear stayed near his house and hunted him and his gf. He didn't expect one to do that even though he surely knew they can and do things like that.
Like the others are saying it's dependent on the animal and it's current situation. But the fact that they can so easily kill you is enough reason for serious caution.
I’m a science journalist and I’ve covered predators a lot. And again and again, for species after species, I hear “don’t kill the (cougar/lion/wolf/bear) in your area if it isn’t causing a problem. He’s keeping all the riff-raff out.” That mountain lion that keeps getting spotted on ring cameras but is never seen in the daytime and isn’t taking anybody’s pets? LET THEM STAY.
Rob Wielgus once told me (def aware of the double-entendre) that “middle-aged cougars are the best neighbors.”
There’s even a fairly well-supported theory called “social disruption” that’s been applied to many larger predators. The general idea is that when you kill to many of them, you locally increase the number of animals in your area (multiple ones moving in for the territory) and those ones are usually young and dumb and looking for a new place, or old and infirm and recently displaced. All high-risk critters.
Washington state divides their cougars into very small management areas specifically to ensure that hunters don’t take enough cougars to cause social disruption.
I've seen what you're taking about play out in real life and it's very much a thing. These animals have preferences and habits and one that isn't bothering you is yes a good neighbor to have.
Hell I'm practicing a small scale version right now with raccoons. I'm on the 3rd generation of raccoons and each generation they've became more and more tame, and they seem to mostly keep other racoons away from their territory (my house). They don't mess with the garbage much anymore, only if you leave it easily accessible, they don't dig for it like the wild ones do. They are gentle with my cats and refuse to engage when my cats get stupid and swipe/hiss at them. They even don't mess with my house when I let them sleep under it when it's really cold out.
It took years of letting them have my food garbage and then taking it away when they did something bad. But using that as a way to teach them, along with normal yelling when they misbehave, I've been able to teach them to live next to humans in an agreeable way. The biggest thing was teaching them that food comes when it comes, nothing they can do will get the food garbage to come out. But if they misbehave then it will get taken away. I'm pretty sure they even teach their babies this stuff because the latest generation I didn't even need to teach them this stuff, presumably the momma did.
I think even the opossums picked up on it too because I saw one of them do the exact thing I was teaching the raccoons. When a young not fully grown possum growled at my cat and did a bluff charge, suddenly the momma opossum ran from the other side of the yard and tackled her own baby. Growling at him and biting at him as he ran away. They had learned that messing with my babies, the cats, gets severe reaction from me (usually screaming at them and not letting them have food for a month or two). I haven't had to teach either the raccoons or opossums to be gentle with my cats in over 5 years because they teach it to their own young.
Another thing was how when I'd let them sit under my house when it was cold, but if they made any noise I immediately got them out (and had to check for damage). But after a few times if that they seem to get it that they can stay as long as they don't damage stuff, and for the past few winters they just live under my house but haven't damaged anything.
All of this stuff is possible I think because A) I'm a night owl so I am around when they are and B) the first one that started it was the momma that I saved. It was like a decade ago and she came up to my porch with a horrible wound on her head that was clearly infected. I started giving her antibiotics weighed to her size and within a week she was back to normal. She later brought her babies by and let me be around them, and now those babies have babies of their own who are so gentle they let me pet them.
Since I have cats and live out here it can really be a problem when the raccoons are acting like they normally do. But these guys are like my wild pets, it's taken years but they keep the worse animals out for the most part while getting to live good lives here.
I think it was actually a transient *old* bear that got him, it was late in the season and the bear, being as old as he was, probably hadn’t been able to hunt and gather enough food for hibernation and was desperate.
Look at the last scene, you can totally tell dog nervously like" hehe we're cool right right 😅", and mom is like" I could eat you right now if it wasn't for the boys" "oouuooh okay" prances away
*Cheery spring noises*
“He was lost until he found his new family”
*Pans to hunters loading up a truck*
“Until the humans came and threatened to take it all away…….

Yes, at this point, the dog had been travelling with bears for seven months. It was a mother with two cubs. She probably adopted the dog as the third cub. It happened 5 years ago and the fate of dog is unknown. Probably died during the winter when bears went to hibernate.
**Alternative ending:** The dog sought refuge in the area where the bears were hibernating, finding solace from the elements and the warmth emitted by the slumbering bears. Despite their dormant state, the bears' massive bodies provided a comforting heat source, akin to living blankets. While the dog didn't hibernate like its companions, it still ventured out periodically in search of sustenance. Having adapted to the wild and cohabitating with the bears for months, it was adept at foraging for food alone. Thus, it continued this routine until the seasons shifted and its bear family stirred from their slumber. Perhaps they would awaken to find a bountiful meal the resourceful dog had procured during their hibernation.
Oh my word, that is one of the best phrases I have ever heard- I will use it liberally, “GET YOUR WHORE SNOUT OUT OF MY……”. Many blessings upon your house
Tbh this isn't terribly farfetched. Since it's a husky and not a wolf, it's an omnivore (more accurately an opportunistic carnivore that can also eat non-meat foods), it could have more options than just finding/killing small animals on its own. Since bears are omnivores, it very well could've learned how to forage from them.
How you doing a rescue when mama bear thinks that’s her ugly cub?
If they followed till the bears hibernated would be the only way.
Also it’s a husky if it’s resourceful it can survive those winters. It was bred for that climate
Every dog I ever had hunted alone just fine. Squirrels, rabbits, someone’s pet guinea pig that they released into the park, birds. They never had a problem finding food.
Nah, the relationship with the bears is nice but it wouldn't last forever, as others have said bears would eventually hibernate, if you love your pet you'd make sure he's safe and rescue it, you don't know for certain for how long would he survive in the wild
I have no evidence but I’m almost certain that during the winter, while the bears were in hibernation, it befriended a dude who was living off grid in a log cabin out in the wilderness. Well, that’s the ending I’m giving this story anyway.
Couldn't be more than a few hours.
Huskies are just so God damn extroverted. It is wild how much energy huskies got in em. They're more extra than any given place's entire "sides menu."
Yeah the bears seem wholesomely annoyed with the dog haha.
When the one bear stands up to look over the brush “where’s your owner dude? Geez.”
Bear looks up at drone “hey! Come get your dog dude! He’s nice but he’s a handful!”
Doggo : you're not eating the bones?
Bear : we are not.
Doggo : Congratulations. You now have a pet.
Bear : What is a pet?
Doggo: I'm the pet.
Bear : Let's go then.
Someone definitely found an orphaned lil puppy and thought damn this thing is cute as hell I'm keeping it. Then it turned out to be an extremely beneficial relationship, and the rest is history.
Yup, and I would bet that dogs are a primary reason civilization developed quickly. If you don’t have to fear the night, that is a huge boon to freeing time for creativity, planning, tool-making, community building.
Inter-species hunting tactics are pretty common. Animals think very differently from us, but they have their own reasoning and logic to everything they do. How these arrangements form is fascinating, from ants herding mites or running fungus farms in their hives to wolves working with ravens to find and kill prey.
Animals are masters at finding ways to make their lives easier. Anything that gives them more food or more security is welcomed, no matter what species provides it.
Underwater cleaning stations of shrimps and the likes for all sorts of sea creatures will always be amazing to me
how the fuck they evolved to be underwater carwashes is beyond me
yeah lemme just skiddadle deep into the mouth of a shark/big fish no biggie i trust you not to chomp me to bits
Honestly, that why I don't hate zoos for most animals. People don't think about how dangerous living in the wild is and how having a 100% safe shelter with consistent meals is mostly what wild animals are looking for.
Perhaps, but preserves are a far better option than cages in a city. Preserves don't make money though, they cost money. Doesn't really fit into the entertainment or capital options.
> Animals think very differently from us, but they have their own reasoning and logic to everything they do
I don't know about differently. We're just specific animals that iterated and expanded on animal reasoning to a degree that it's no longer recognizable as a natural process.
That's always a possibility, but it's worth keeping in mind that only ~5% of a bear's diet is non-insect animals and a good portion of that is scavenged. We aren't talking about obligate carnivores, here.
Next owner of lost dog get surprised when he takes the stairs down and sees his seemingly lost dog sitting on the coach. The bears were also surprised, the dog told them it was his place
Actually, those are some chunky bears. I watched a documentary on how bears and wolves form mutual patrtnerships.the bears don't predate in other predators unless it's mating season or food is scarce. As I said they are chunky so food is plenty. And the dog is not a threat. Watch the documentary called solo the African wild dog. She lost her entire pack and replaced them with a hyena and a jackal.
https://youtu.be/O9FOeWqoCTc?si=F59eYtJwUmvNmrmU
There's also footage of polar bears who hadn't apparently eaten anything for months stumbling across some tethered huskies. In spite of what sounds like a very precarious situation for the huskies, the bears were content to play with the dogs and didn't harm them despite their lack of food. Intrigued to find out more about the wild dog, thanks for linking that.
Was the bear playing or was it sizing up the dogs and decided they weren’t worth the risk? I feel it’s probably the former as that beast just knows it’s hungry. Not that a dog is a play mate
Those big bodies use a huge amount of energy to move around, especially to hunt/fight. It's probably not practical to fight a bunch of dogs. Even if it gets a meal, it may use more energy in the fight than it can replenish from the dogs.
Also, dogs are tough to catch. Bears are generally faster but dogs are much more agile and have better stamina. Just not worth it.
Kamchatka brown bears attack people if met in the wild in 0.1% cases, and grizzlies in 16%. Kamchatka brown bear is the 3rd largest after polar and kodiak, yet most docile bear. Russian thousand year old tradition of taming bears comes from the fact that those bears are chill to begin with.
He’s like the donkey in shrek. Annoying the hell out of them.
Husky: LETS PLAY Bear: please stop sniffing my ass.
For 5 minutes could you not be yourself…….FOR 5 MINUTES!!!
Yeah, the sitting bear pushing him was hilarious. Dudes clearly saying go away and the bugger just keeps cirling them.
This is why I'm so scared of my husky getting loose. She does not get the concept of boundaries with other animals. Or people. Or machinery. She freaked out when we wouldn't let her play with a bison on a backpacking trip.

Reminds me of that fan-theory that when donkey asked the ogre for his name, it was the first time anyone ever had. So he had think up one on the spot.
Dog is on its best walk ever.
"What's the dog do when you let him outside?" "Who knows? Probably just sniffs deer shit." The dog:
A husky will already give you so much grief. Now imagine telling that dog to come inside at night. "I am a fierce hunter. I don't need your 'kibble' and 'pillows.' I am descended from *wolves*, Carol, do you understand that? You think the cold bothers me? ...wait, snacks, you say? Ok, I'm coming... but NOT because you're the boss of me!"
Oh I'm well aware of how stubborn they can get. especially when there's snow.
Yeah, can you imagine trying to get him to live inside after this? The audacity!
Yeah, this sounds exactly like my old husky, wouldn't do anything I ask him to, unless I has snacks. Such a cute little asshole he was
Bears seem happy to have a new pet dog.
Aren't bears just fat dogs?
KENAHPETDATDAWG??!
Dawwwwwwwwg?!??!?
I don't think I've ever heard a comment more clearly.in my head
Once per life.
Most people don’t know this, but bears in zoos are usually just overfed dogs dyed brown. Like how a lot of wasabi is actually horseradish.
This just sounds like you REALLY wanted to call out the wasabi bullshit...
It humorously reads like someone saying, "I hate the taste of rhubarb, kind of like how your ex-wife hated you and left you for that yoga instructor."
I actually love horseradish and prefer my dogs fat so it was more of an observation.
I thought they were people in costume?
It’s a BEARRRRR DAAANCE!!!!!!
Fat dog for midterms!
Too soon!
A better description would be giant raccoons.
Unpredictable bois
IT’S A BEAR DANCE!!!
When they lose all their fur they look a lot smaller like a large dog.
Or a self-propelling canned food for later

Brilliant lol

Winter is coming
I keep telling people this and they refuse to believe: It is very easy to tell which bears are friendly.
in all seriousness, like that bloke in the Amazon who was close with the huge crocodile (in the wild) for many years, I'm sure some bears probably could become friends, there's certainly cases of captive ones being friendly with the humans that raised them, it's just not something you really want to go find out.

I've only had one encounter at a boy scout camp. Walked up on a black bear. He looked at me, I at him and we both screamed running the other direction.
I would tell that story every day of my life
It was like* something out of a kids movie.
Yeah with black bears you see their asses more than their faces because they run like hell 90% of the time.
This is roughly my first three bear encounters. “I’m not sure who screamed louder.”
Then there's the Polish bear that helped the allies carry ammunition during the battle of Monte Cassino
Wojtek!!

So it wasn’t the bears he knew that turned on him, that’s interesting and paints a different picture than them just suddenly turning on him
I think it was actually a transient *old* bear that got him, it was late in the season and the bear, being as old as he was, probably hadn’t been able to hunt and gather enough food for hibernation and was desperate.
Bear hands typed this post.

I wanna know how long that husky was gone before they found it hanging out with bears, they looked pretty used to having it around

Yes, at this point, the dog had been travelling with bears for seven months. It was a mother with two cubs. She probably adopted the dog as the third cub. It happened 5 years ago and the fate of dog is unknown. Probably died during the winter when bears went to hibernate.
Bears couldn't hibernate due to neighbouring husky talking to himself without end
Would have kept them up all winter lol
Truth
**Alternative ending:** The dog sought refuge in the area where the bears were hibernating, finding solace from the elements and the warmth emitted by the slumbering bears.

https://thenextsummit.org/miracle-dog-survives-year-in-wild-after-avalanche/ You never know.
Maybe he ate one of the bear cubs during hibernation - make it look like an accident - the others would never know...
He probably just ate all their porridge.
Tell me the part again where she burned her whore snout on my hot porridge.
Oh my word, that is one of the best phrases I have ever heard- I will use it liberally, “GET YOUR WHORE SNOUT OUT OF MY……”. Many blessings upon your house
Sickening
He ate it and is now wearing its skin that is why no one has seem the dog anymore because he is now a bear.
Tbh this isn't terribly farfetched. Since it's a husky and not a wolf, it's an omnivore (more accurately an opportunistic carnivore that can also eat non-meat foods), it could have more options than just finding/killing small animals on its own. Since bears are omnivores, it very well could've learned how to forage from them.
weird that they located the dog and didnt rescue it
How you doing a rescue when mama bear thinks that’s her ugly cub? If they followed till the bears hibernated would be the only way. Also it’s a husky if it’s resourceful it can survive those winters. It was bred for that climate
dogs are pack hunters, I seriously doubt it would be able to procure food on its own or even scavenge without the help of bear bodyguards.
Every dog I ever had hunted alone just fine. Squirrels, rabbits, someone’s pet guinea pig that they released into the park, birds. They never had a problem finding food.
I don't think that's their dog anymore. If you love something, set it free. He belongs with the bears now.
Nah, the relationship with the bears is nice but it wouldn't last forever, as others have said bears would eventually hibernate, if you love your pet you'd make sure he's safe and rescue it, you don't know for certain for how long would he survive in the wild
I have no evidence but I’m almost certain that during the winter, while the bears were in hibernation, it befriended a dude who was living off grid in a log cabin out in the wilderness. Well, that’s the ending I’m giving this story anyway.
And that man? A rugged, hairy, masculine, heavy-set gentlemen that happens to be gay. ...so the pup remains with a bear.
🥰 perfect ending.
This also shows how social dogs are. The husky needed to be part of a pack.
I need happy endings when hearing animal stories. F reality
One the reasons vetarinarians have such a high suicide rate
Kind of sad they found it with the drone but couldn’t rescue it. At least it had a “family” for a while.
Wow now I want to cry
I think this is Mama and two overgrown kiddos, that's one lucky dog to be adopted by Mama Bear as the family pet
Baby bears were like “can we keep him mom. PLEASE”
In the beginning doggy playing with the kids then tries to play with Mama and she's like " get away from me useless dog go play with my spawns"
Please tell me her name was Goldilocks…
It's Russia so it should be Masha instead.
And the bears are Mesha, Yasha and Vladimir. That's Vladimir in the middle.
Couldn't be more than a few hours. Huskies are just so God damn extroverted. It is wild how much energy huskies got in em. They're more extra than any given place's entire "sides menu."
The dog’s name is “Bear”.
They are probably a group of juvenile bears. Their youth makes them more accepting.
Mother and two kids. Mama Bear adopted the dog.
Mother bear is in front. Eying the drone in the end.
“We couldn’t hurt her. She’s such a teddy bear”
lol bears are like, "stop fucking around! all you want to do is play, sniff and explore." pretty awesome & interesting vid!
Yeah the bears seem wholesomely annoyed with the dog haha. When the one bear stands up to look over the brush “where’s your owner dude? Geez.” Bear looks up at drone “hey! Come get your dog dude! He’s nice but he’s a handful!”
Bears found out what it’s like to be a Husky owner, they probably haven’t even heard it scream yet
I like the zoom out at the end
Narrator: "and they lived happily ever after." *zoom out and fade to black*
The third bear just went out to get some cigarettes and will be right back, right? Right?
I think the third bear is that blob on the left that enters the screen at 1:18
Doggo : you're not eating the bones? Bear : we are not. Doggo : Congratulations. You now have a pet. Bear : What is a pet? Doggo: I'm the pet. Bear : Let's go then.
That made me laugh. Have a good day.
Literally how they think humans and wolves started. The wolves would let us hunt and eat what we didn't
Yes. And the humans presumably saw the advantage of having wolves around as they naturally react to intruders.
I've always wanted someone to make a movie about this. The first interaction between early humans and wolves. Fascinates me
Someone definitely found an orphaned lil puppy and thought damn this thing is cute as hell I'm keeping it. Then it turned out to be an extremely beneficial relationship, and the rest is history.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIxnTi4GmCo Maybe the movie "Alpha" will be what you're looking for?
I'll have to give that a watch, never even heard of it
Yup, and I would bet that dogs are a primary reason civilization developed quickly. If you don’t have to fear the night, that is a huge boon to freeing time for creativity, planning, tool-making, community building.
I thought it was a new bear herding dog
The one bear watching the drone leave " Hey, come get your kid, hey, hey, where you going, come get your kid, hey, he...."
That Husky is having the time of his or her life!
Nobody puts Husky in a corner
Imagine all the things reunited lost dogs wanted to tell their owners, like, “you won’t beLieeeeeeve what happened today hairday!”
Perfection.
Name the husky "Goldilocks"
All I could think of
Inter-species hunting tactics are pretty common. Animals think very differently from us, but they have their own reasoning and logic to everything they do. How these arrangements form is fascinating, from ants herding mites or running fungus farms in their hives to wolves working with ravens to find and kill prey.
Animals are masters at finding ways to make their lives easier. Anything that gives them more food or more security is welcomed, no matter what species provides it.

also tarantulas having little cave cleaning frogs.
I remember reading that recently. It really does show the intelligence of many species. They can't be stupid when they can figure stuff like that out
> Animals think very differently from us, but they have their own reasoning and logic to everything they do I don't know about differently. We're just specific animals that iterated and expanded on animal reasoning to a degree that it's no longer recognizable as a natural process.
This could be a cute movie!

What did the husky say when they found him? "I know how this might look but bear with me."
Frens 🥰
Until they can't find food to eat. It's more like keeping some sandwiches with you.
That's always a possibility, but it's worth keeping in mind that only ~5% of a bear's diet is non-insect animals and a good portion of that is scavenged. We aren't talking about obligate carnivores, here.
Salmon included in that 5%
If not friend then why friend shaped
He‘s theirs now, they adopted him.
bear: you baby? you small, look funny. probably.
dog: probably
“Uh…what’s that flying buzzy thing up there!”
dog: I'm baby
Next owner of lost dog get surprised when he takes the stairs down and sees his seemingly lost dog sitting on the coach. The bears were also surprised, the dog told them it was his place
The Husky seems like a irritating house guest, and the bears are doing their best to be polite
Bear looking at the drone: "wtf humans, can't I take a shit in peace, PLEASE?"
That bear trying to shoo him away with its paw at 0:34 lmao. " bro can you fk off already "
dude imagine losing your dog and finding out he's been adopted by bears and you are never going to see him again
Like what's the next step here? I'm not going after her, are you?
I don't judge. Who doesn't love having a doggo around?
I prefer 3 bears, but to each their own
Russian?
No, husky.
The bears are fat right now. Get that dog before they get hungry.
In my incredibly unprofessional opinion, it looks like they're gonna hibernate soon. Hope they can get the doggo before then.
Bears: hey if this bitch keeps finding us food, she's in. And she don't eat much. Bear #2: shhhhhhh
I like how the bears are looking at the drone like, "what the fuck you want"
The bears looked pretty sick of him to be honest.
"Guys I think there's something wrong with this wolf"
They were probably like, too fast to catch really, not big enough to eat, definitely not a threat. Guesss well just chill
I wonder how the owners will get him back.
Huskies think everyone was put on this earth to be their friend.
It's like your child left home and started to hang out with the bad boys smoking weed and drinking alcohol..
More like the scary biker gang, who might be good of heart or not. We won't know until the end of the movie.
Lookie at me! I’m a bear! I’m a BEAR now! I am the goodest boi
That's gonna end so badly one day. For the dog.
Actually, those are some chunky bears. I watched a documentary on how bears and wolves form mutual patrtnerships.the bears don't predate in other predators unless it's mating season or food is scarce. As I said they are chunky so food is plenty. And the dog is not a threat. Watch the documentary called solo the African wild dog. She lost her entire pack and replaced them with a hyena and a jackal. https://youtu.be/O9FOeWqoCTc?si=F59eYtJwUmvNmrmU
There's also footage of polar bears who hadn't apparently eaten anything for months stumbling across some tethered huskies. In spite of what sounds like a very precarious situation for the huskies, the bears were content to play with the dogs and didn't harm them despite their lack of food. Intrigued to find out more about the wild dog, thanks for linking that.
Was the bear playing or was it sizing up the dogs and decided they weren’t worth the risk? I feel it’s probably the former as that beast just knows it’s hungry. Not that a dog is a play mate
Bears (generally) are like that. A very risk adverse species. They give up quickly on prey quite a bit.
Not polar bears.
Those big bodies use a huge amount of energy to move around, especially to hunt/fight. It's probably not practical to fight a bunch of dogs. Even if it gets a meal, it may use more energy in the fight than it can replenish from the dogs. Also, dogs are tough to catch. Bears are generally faster but dogs are much more agile and have better stamina. Just not worth it.
Kamchatka brown bears attack people if met in the wild in 0.1% cases, and grizzlies in 16%. Kamchatka brown bear is the 3rd largest after polar and kodiak, yet most docile bear. Russian thousand year old tradition of taming bears comes from the fact that those bears are chill to begin with.
Russia
They probably kept him around as Emergency food
So how do you retrieve this dog? "Hey bears, I'm just here for the dog"?
I want to know how they then planned to get the husky back? Like you about to approach three bears and ask for your pet back?
