Dogs and bears
For sure certain animals resemble other animal species naturally. Baby leopards for example look like badgers and well, some dogs look more like bears. It is therefore easy to understand why anyone would confuse them.
Below are a few dogs that are in most cases mistaken for bears.
First, there’s the puppy that’s a result of a cross between German Shepherds Arkitas and corgis. These ones usually resemble cubs. Since it has small pointed ears and cheeks as well as dark colors, one could easily think this dog is the cub of a black bear, just that it barks.
