Haha. Cute play between a grizzly cub and dog — but alas not an adult polar bear. Nothing scary there!
Interested to see an untethered sled dog willingly playing with a wild polar bear. I just don’t believe it. Sled dogs are smartly surviving the encounters, not enjoying themselves. But please do forward a link if you come across an untethered dog playing with an adult polar bear. I’d love to be wrong on this; otherwise, looks like human cruelty to me.
