Bears will not intentionally attack dogs, but they can sometimes be startled or surprised by a dog if they are sneaking around a house looking for birdfeeders or following the smell of pet food. Bear will often run and tree when disturbed by dogs, but a parting swat cant be ruled out in close quarters. An exception to this would be a large male bear or sow with cubs, which may attempt to fight rather than run away if cornered. Keep your dog on a leash when walking your dog in areas of known bear activity. A mother bear may chase an unleashed dog in the protection of her cubs. The dog will probably run back to you for protection.
