A family who lost their dog made a last-ditch attempt at finding their pet with a drone, only to discover the hound had befriended a family of bears in the woods.
The footage was captured in Russia’s far eastern Kamchatka Peninsula. The drone found the husky playing with the bears, who appeared unfazed by the dog.
The video shows the large bear gently prodding the dog as the two baby bears look on.
The dog can be seen bouncing between three other bears as they walk through the woods.
While the bears are technically ferocious predators, these particular bears appeared to have welcomed the dog into their family.

The Daily Mail reported:
The drone hovers further overhead, giving viewers an adorable shot of the husky bounding ahead of two bears before cheekily turning back to see if they would play.
The two smaller bears seem to enjoy the dog’s enthusiasm and begin hopping along the path alongside the pup.
The touching moment then turns into a game of chase as the husky stops in its tracks to run after his new fluffy friends.
Now a group of four, the squad continues their journey through the grassy opening as the dog sprints beside the pack.
The family had reportedly lost their pet pooch while enjoying a stroll in the woods, but were shocked to see what he had been up to in his short time away.
The footage has racked up over a staggering 27million views and 12,000 comments on Instagram.
Social media user responded to the footage:
One said:
“The one bear shoved him like ‘go the hell home dude.”
Another commented:
“That one bear looked up at the drone at the end like ‘come get your dog please.”
“That’s a Pixar movie right there!” added a third.
Another posted:
“This proves that if humans disappeared today, other animals would keep our dogs as pets.”
A fifth chimed in:
“Freakin huskies. We adopted one after it was running with a pack of coyotes for six months but then got bored.”
One more added:
“These are Kamchatka Russian bears not grizzlies, although they are in the same family of brown bear.”
“Kamchatka bears are much bigger than grizzlies, that’s why they look so plump to North Americans.”
