There are furry animals that love to socialize with other animals. It doesn’t matter if they are dogs, cats or larger species. They, happy, have no problem or fear in approaching them, smelling them, getting to know them and having a good time playing with whoever shows up.

Some dogs are so interested in playing with other animals that they are able to get away from their owners, even if they are scared when they can’t find them.

That’s what happened to a family who lost their furry friend in Kamchatka, a volcanic peninsula located in eastern Russia. The animal, which was walking with them, ended up getting lost in a large wooded area.

Immediately, they began searching for him, even using drones to locate him. To his surprise, they discovered that he had made friends with a family of bears that were also in the area. The dog seemed like one of the pack, following the path marked by these mammals and playing with them every time he had the opportunity.

The scene has caused surprise among social media users. “I get a heart attack if I see my dogs with those tremendous bears,” says a follower of X (formerly Twitter). “The family crying, worried, and the dog very happy, getting to know the world,” adds another.

And many joke: “It would make me a little upset to know that my dog ??made friends with a family of bears and didn’t introduce me to them.”
