I suppose he wasn't too concerned about raccoons because the dog could
probably handle those. The bear?  Not so much..

Although, in general bears are afraid of dogs. I've seen a Lab puppy
that weighed maybe 25 lbs chase a 300 pound bear up a tree. I think
it maybe stems from a built in (genetic) fear bears have of Wolves.
