The young bear, obviously curious about the strangers, would repeatedly approach the pair and, at times, circle them to get closer to the dog.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In her attempt to get the bear to stay away, the dog mom would constantly yell at the bear in a deep voice, hoping to scare it off. Despite her attempts, the grizzly continued to get close, even picking up speed at one point.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">With her coffee mug in hand, the dog mom threw the mug in the opposite direction. Naturally, the grizzly bear went off to investigate the mug, giving the dog mom and her furbaby the perfect chance to run away and create distance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/lifestyle\/articles\/cougar-attacking-goat-humans-actions-162000892.html\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Related: A Cougar Was Attacking This Goat, and Their Human&#039;s Actions Are Beyond Heroic;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Related&quot;}\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Related: A Cougar Was Attacking This Goat, and Their Human&#8217;s Actions Are Beyond Heroic<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While the entire situation was frightening, it fortunately ended without anyone or any furbaby injured. In the comments, viewers were left shocked and offered advice for anyone else who may find themselves in the same situation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Bravest person, she did not panic!&#8221; one person added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Another viewer exclaimed, &#8220;This lady mom&#8217;d herself out of a bear attack. She needs to be interviewed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Hats off to the dog too for not being reactive,&#8221; one user pointed out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If you ever cross paths with a bear on a walk, resist the urge to run \u2014 instead, back away slowly while keeping your dog leashed and close by your side. Speak in a firm, calm voice and make yourself look big. Avoid direct eye contact, and never get between a bear and her cubs. A little bear spray in your pocket doesn&#8217;t hurt either. While easier said than done in the moment, these small steps can help keep you and your furry friends safe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/lifestyle\/articles\/mama-bear-one-cub-stuck-162000710.html\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Related: Mama Bear Has One Cub Stuck on the Other Side of a Wall, and She&#039;s Not Leaving Without Her;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Related&quot;}\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Related: Mama Bear Has One Cub Stuck on the Other Side of a Wall, and She&#8217;s Not Leaving Without Her<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This story was originally published by <a href=\"https:\/\/pawnation.com\/news\/dog-mom-scary-bear-encounter-during-walk-youtube\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:PawNation;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;PawNation&quot;}\" class=\"link \">PawNation<\/a> on Jul 2, 2026, where it first appeared in the <a href=\"https:\/\/pawnation.com\/news\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:News;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;News&quot;}\" class=\"link \">News<\/a> section.
