In truth, the first instinct of most wild boars and black bears when surrounded by dogs is to run.
This holds true even though they are much larger than dogs and far more powerful in a one-on-one fight.
The Black Bear initially faced off with the dogs for a few seconds. Its fierce posture kept the two dogs from advancing, but then it feinted and spun around to run.
The moment it ran, Hua Xiao'Er and Daqing gave chase relentlessly.
Just moments before, Zhao Jun had stopped Li Baoyu from feeding them meat. The two dogs had licked their chops and eaten until they were about half-full, but they were still hungry.
One bear and two dogs raced across the slope, kicking up snow that billowed like dust.
Daqing quickly caught up and was running alongside the Black Bear. The bear glanced sideways, then made a sharp turn, its body sending a shower of snow into the air.
The dog Daqing leaped up and snapped its jaws at the Black Bear. The great bear swiped out with a paw, striking Daqing.
