Lucky it was a black bear.
No shit. And for half a second I thought the dog was a cub.
I mean... If he was angry or hungry it wouldn't be lucky at all.
They can outrun his bike easily, and you can't play dead with them.
It was probably lucky that this was an area where people interact with bears often. They aren't too dangerous usually in areas like that because they know to fear people.
In the last 126 years there was only 61 possible legitimate cases of an american black bear killing a human, and even some of those cases have been called into question. American black bears are some of the most passive animals, they hate confrontation and will basically always flee. Even if hungry and even if their babies are in danger. The scariest thing they will do is bluff charge while vocalizing and the run off.
This is the correct info.

What’s their record with dogs?
I seriously doubt anyone keeps records of dog deaths like they do humans. But bear hunters use dogs to hunt them because they scare and corner them, by running them up a tree. American black bears are afraid of everything.
