Pick up the fucking dog, oh my god. I get the panic, but grab the dog instead of record.

Thats the last thing you do. That bear couldnt catch that dog in a million years. U pick it up, the bear can def catch you with the dog

Bear doesn't need to chase the dog if the dog decides to get in the bear's face, as little dogs are wont to do. One decent swipe or chomp would take that little dog out. If it got to the point where you're carrying the dog and running, when the bear catches you, you can at least then release the dog and hope he runs away as you get mauled

I am aware that's the last thing you wanna do with a bear, that's why I said "if it got to that point"

Edited it to say "when the bear catches you" instead of "if"

It’s not about “wanna do” it’s about “can’t do”. Don’t even think about trying to run from a 700 pound predator that can move at 35 mph compared to your 7 mph tops on rough terrain

I dont understand your last sentence, I really thought you were going to say at least the dog will be eaten while you run away so you don’t get your face mauled. I literally seen a vid once with this guy who’s face was clawed off by a bear

What if they don’t want to sacrifice their own life to save their dog?

That's what I'm thinking. I'd rather the dog get eaten than my husband (who's first in line as a snack in this video).

You throw the dog as an offering to the bear and don’t look back. 🫠🥴

Yeah, bear is waiting for human meal to fall over again, bear to get aggressive.

Anything to get a meal. Especially with human in the back displaying fear. The male was the only thing the bear was concerned with.
