Cool family. Please don't feed the trolls!

At the risk of family life and limb, they try to save a dog that could easily out maneuver a bear in such tight quarters. The dog had already exhibited that by staying clear of the bear. Enter the wife and husband screaming and posturing like some alpha predator to another alpha predator is purely luck that he didn’t get mauled or bitten. I have been around bears my entire life and would not risk myself or my family to rescue a dog that isn’t in any certain danger and worst case would be a mauled or bitten dog which is not as bad as a family member being mauled or bitten.

So Florida bears don’t have teeth or claws?
