Grizzly Bear vs. Dog 2B Shown On Animal Planet

Henry, the schnauzer chases a grizzly bear in Alaska. Watch for Henry on Animal Planet. This video will be part of Animal Planet's Weird True & Freaky show this 2009 /2010 winter. Henry's owners have a fishing lodge in Alaska where the dog has spent his summers since he was a pup. On frequent occasions bears would wonder through the camp, tempted by fresh caught salmon. Henry and a couple of other dogs have been chasing off bear for several years.

Just because wild animals are fierce and would kill you if they thought you were a threat doesn't mean they shouldn't be protected, smart one. They're just living their lives, hoping that they can do so in peace.

Now that's funny.

Let me guess. Your biggest wilderness encounter has been your local zoo.

Strange as it sounds, most bears are afraid of dogs. It's mostly because dogs are generally far more agile than bears and can harass a bear without getting caught by them. The bear feels helpless and frustrated and runs away from the threat. I'd not want to go into bear country without at least one good dog to warn of bears and chase them off. A high-powered rifle would be good to have also, as well placed bullet is the only guarantee of stopping a bear attack.

Actually, Yellowstone. And Alaska. Haven't been hunting, though. I'm not a hard ass like you and the 5 year olds who can shoot rifles.

Anyway, make a point. Are you saying wildlife shouldn't be protected?

"GDR352", There are some videos out there of Wolves doing exactly what you describe (If people want to look, YouTube features some of them as well). One wolf will nip at the Bear's backside, then the Bear turns to swat it, it dashes away,& another pack member darts in to nip from its angle. It's amazing how Tigers are generally afraid of dogs as well, as are most big cats (At least when dealing with a pack of dogs). The extreme defensive posturing of a domestic dog seems to throw them off.

Up in the mountains at sheep ranches they allways have a small annoying dog for bears, when the bear comes, they don't unleash the big dogs, they let go the little one, that pretty much does the same thing the one in the video does, irritating the bear so bad, that he decides to leave
