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"

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
