Ship wreck with bear and dogs - a photo on Flickriver

Ship wreck with bear and dogs

A polar bear (centre right) walks along the shoreline by some Canadian Eskimo dogs*, with the wreck of SS Ithaca in the background. Late October is the beginning of freeze-up on Hudson Bay, Churchill, Manitoba. Over several days of intermittant observation, it appeared that the bears in the area paid little or no attention to the dogs themselves, but did try to steal the dog's food.

*The Canadian Eskimo dog is a purebred working dog that used to be common in the Arctic, but has become an endangered species as mechanical transport has overtaken the use of dog sleds. This is a sanctuary that is trying to preserve the breed.
