Watch an Unlikely Encounter Between a Sled Dog and a Polar Bear

Churchill is located on the Western shore of the Canada's Hudson Bay. It's considered the polar bear capital of the world. Two wildlife photographers were searching for polar bears outside the town.

They spotted a polar bear approaching a chained sled dog. The photographers waited anxiously to see what would happen. Polar bears are dangerous predators, and dogs have been killed by them before.

To the photographers’ surprise, this unusual interaction turned out to be just a visit…and a cute one at that.
