During a casual walk in the woods, a man was joined by his two dogs. Little did he know, a giant grizzly bear was on the trail ahead of them. The Youtube Short belongs to a channel called “Blue Collar Carnivores” and will have you thinking twice about keeping your pets on a leash. The smaller of the two dogs, Ruger, darts towards the grizzly bear as soon as it’s in sight. Bears typically don’t eat dogs. The majority of the time, a bear would steer clear of a dog. Even though bears are capable of harming and finally devouring a dog, they typically flee. However, bears may grow violent and eventually kill and devour a dog if the dog constitutes a threat to their cub. Your home pet can be mistaken for prey if it wanders into bear territory. Although it is doubtful that bears would aggressively hunt your dog like they do other small animals, there is a significant likelihood that they would consume them. That being said, it’s not something you want to risk. If you’re aware of an area that has active grizzly bears, you should steer clear yourself. Ruger doesn’t listen to his owner at first and continues on his merry way. Eventually, he stops as if to say to his human “Dad, I’m just saying hello to a new friend!”
Selective Hearing
Hazel, the larger of the two dogs, sticks by her dad’s side. As Ruger turns around to come back to his pack, you can see the bear lock eyes, likely spooked by the yelling of the dog’s name. The pet owner is noticeably relieved that his pooch decided to turn around. He tells the dog to get behind him, as the bear is still a threat, even at a long distance. As expected, as soon as he asks the dog to get behind him, it turns back and heads towards the bear again. Thankfully, Ruger, Hazel, Blue Collar Carnivores, and the bear made it out okay! The majority of the time, bears are timid and respond to unfamiliar objects cautiously and fearfully. Dogs naturally terrify bears and make them dislike them. Although they have a clear genetic connection to dogs, they don’t feel sympathy for one another. Most dogs are unable to outrun bears, especially when they’re small like Ruger. Bears can run faster than 35 mph, but average dogs can only run up to 31 miles per hour. The world’s fastest dogs can run at about 40 mph, but bears can certainly accomplish the same.
