Four Dogs Versus a Bear

It’s a Brown bear I believe.
Here’s what I suspect is happening. That bear knows he could kill the more aggressive dog. What the bear is instinctively thinking is this. If I turn my attention exclusively to that aggressive dog, what’s going to happen with the other three when I take my eyes off of them? The bear did try to keep his eye on the one behind him out of the corner of his eye.
Fighting a dog isn’t like fighting a pack of dogs.
Works the same when going after mountain lion. One dog is no match but a bunch will almost always get the lion treed.
Kenai is my back yard. That brownie is still a cub…small.
Full grown, different odds.
Good boys! The owner sounded worried and with good reason, but the bear seemed satisfied to disengage and go his way.
Bears can not handle dogs barking – especially in a pack. They’d rather be somewhere else.
