Polar bears and sled dogs

A mother polar bear with a pair of cubs resting near some Canadian Eskimo dogs, with a male polar bear, distant upper right. Hudson Bay, Churchill, MB. The mother bear is not completely relaxed, not due to the nearness of the dogs, but to the presence of the other bear. I observed that there seemed to be a very tolerant relationship on both sides between the bears and the dogs. I think the bears got a feeling of safeness, when near the dogs, against the predations of large males that can kill cubs and the dogs seemed unfazed at the presence of the bears.
