Dogs and bears are two similar types of things. But, Bears do not like dogs at all and will usually try to kill them if they are barking

Bears don't like noise. In Fact, in Yosemite people bang on their cooking pans with a spoon to drive them away from their campsites. Because Bears have sensitive ears like dogs do.

So, when a dog is barking at a bear the bear may kill that dog immediately. So, if you want to live and survive a bear encounter you might have to allow your dog to die from the bear to survive this yourself. Because the Dog knows how dangerous the bear is usually but isn't prepared for how big and strong and fatal a bear can be for a dog.

A Bear can easily rip your car door off it's hinges in fact they regularly do this in national parks if they smell food in your car (whether or not you are in the car at the time). So, understanding just how fast a bear can rip a door off your car even when it is closed by using their long claws imagine what a bear can do to you with one swipe of their front claws. One swipe is often fatal to people because they will bleed out from this one swipe within minutes.

So, if you want to survive an encounter with a bear often you have to write off your dog or dogs especially smaller dogs not as swift as a 70 pound or larger dog who might be able to run away from a bear. However, you as a human are not fast enough to run away from a bear if you are near to this bear.

If you are a block or more away from this bear you might hide in your car or truck or camper. However, I have seen first hand what a black bear can do to a Cabover camper when they literally tore a Cabover Camper in half to get at food. When I arrived there were things scattered all over the road when I arrived from my tent with my family to see if I could help. When I realized no humans were injured I went back to my tent to help protect my family because we had already seen the shadow of the bear pass our campsite and tent just before this and before that there was screaming and banging of pans and yelling at the bear to leave then in Yosemite National Park at one of the campgrounds we were staying in then in our 5 man tent. I was with my wife and 3 children then and we were going to climb Half Dome up the wire then in 1985 before we went to India and Nepal then later in December. This was likely in September or October of 1985.
