a woman hiking with her dog has a surreal grizzly bear encounter that &#8212; by some miracle &#8212; doesn&#8217;t end in absolute tragedy.<\/p>\n<p>For an agonizing couple minutes, the bear chases down the hiker and her dog &#8230; getting as close as about a couple feet away &#8230; all while the woman frantically shouts to scare the animal off.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"continued\" class=\"continued-anchor\"\/><\/p>\n<p>But rather than scaring the grizzly, the woman&#8217;s shouts only makes it stand on its back legs to display its size &#8212;
