The dog took a stand and warned them of the bear’s approach.
Seems like a useful function.
It may be hard to tell from the video, but that GIF I posted *IS* a double tap, one down range, one at the sky.
Some people think it's funny to give a very high power handgun or shotgun to an inexperienced woman just to watch them fail at handling the recoil. It is not funny.
Also, this inadvertent double tap is the reason why when I give an unfamiliar gun to a new shooter, or indeed if I am shooting an unfamiliar gun for the first time, I only load ONE ROUND into the weapon. That way if there is any issue with recoil, dropping the weapon from a startle reaction, or whatever, after that one shot the gun is safe.
Thanks for the post. Some of the comments on the original article a a hoot.

Good policy.
I like to start shooters with a .22, preferably suppressed.
Race hasn't been called yet as far as I can tell. She's ahead by 2/10 of a percentage with 99% of precincts reporting.
You can’t have a bear thread on FR without the keyboard experts. “Bah, that peashooter?” etc.
Might change the earth’s rotation with that thing.
It is an opportunity for discussion and education.
Everyone is ignorant about something. Many people have been fed incomplete information.
Most people can be educated about bears, guns, and what is needed to stop attacks.
Can’t imagine being able to hear after such a shot. The shooter wouldn’t have had time to plug or cover their ears.
Riding my bicycle in the local desert, I was attracted to some shiney sparkles near a desert bush. There were 6 .500 S&W brass laying there, with some MT But light cans near the road.
Not long after, at the local gun shop, was a used Smith .500 revolver for sale. It was accompanied by a box of ammo, minus 6 rounds.
I guess the .500 Magnum is not a plinker round.
Was it a good price?
Dogs are good for flanking a bear snd splitting its attention.
There’s a woman behind every tree...
If the dog got away, fine. This sounds as though it was almost being used as a disposable distraction or worse, bait to delay the bear getting to the people.
It was the dog that warned them of the approaching bear.....
