Polar bear filmed patting Sled Dog - Manitoba, Canada Polar bear filmed patting Sled Dog
An incredible video of a polar bear tenderly patting a husky dog in the Canadian city of Manitoba has made waves across the world.
The incredible footage was filmed by David De Meulles, a part-time tour guide who happened to be showing tourists round his hometown of Churchill when he came across the scarcely believable scene.
Polar bears are known to frequent the town - but it still very much took Mr De Meulles by surprise.
"I've known the bears to have somewhat friendly behaviour with the dogs, but for a bear to pet like a human would pet a dog is just mind-blowing," he told CBC.
"It was a beautiful sight to see, and I just can't believe an animal that big would show that kind of heart toward another animal."
