Photographer Norbert Rosing planned to take some sunset photos of a group of sled dogs near Churchill, Manitoba, in northern Canada on the Hudson Bay, when from stage left comes a 1200 pound polar bear.
The dogs' owner thinks he's just about to lose his pack. The dogs, though, don't growl, but crouch down and bark and wag their tails as though they want to play.

And it turns out that you don't have to weigh less than a thousand pounds to be gentle.
So the dogs say "You should come back and play some more."
The polar bear does. He comes back several times during the course of the next week to roughhouse with his little friends.
Awesome...just sad that we are doing everything to kill these amazing animals by destroying their habitat (human caused global warming is reducing the size of the glaciers on which they live)
