You obviously haven't seen a bear close up - one swipe with those 5" claws will rip open any dogs belly.
Didn't recognize the joke did you? :h However, I have seen a grizzly up very close and alive. Last June we were driving in upper Yellowstone and as we rounded a curve there he was ambling along minding his own business with those huge, sharp claws scratching along the asphalt as he went. We passed within ten feet and got a good look at his radio-collar. He only gave us a cursory glance as it appeared he was looking for something; probably lunch. Our Pug was back in the MH with the AC sound asleep. :p
