I grew up around Greenland dogs, a breed which seems to consider itself quite capable of harassing polar bears. Here's a clip from a Norwegian documentary about a hunter on Svalbard, with a few bears visiting: http://www1.nrk.no/nett-tv/indeks/95503

'As the Lion is to the Cat, so the Mastiff is to the Dog'

Sorry if I recall that quote inaccurately.

When I think war dog (and I mean in a hiostorical dogs used way) I always think of the Mastiff.

There is an astonishing and allegedly true story about the origin of the English Bull Mastiff breed.
One of King Henrys nobelmen (Sir Peers Legh, I think) fighting with him at the battle of Agincourt took his (French) Mastiff with him.
It is said that he was unhorsed and seriously injured early in the battle and his Mastiff took it upon itself to defend him from all who approached. This included the English Knights and soldiers!
Apparently even groups of armoured French knights were kept at bay by this most devoted of dawgs.
He kept this up for several hours, only relinquishing his ward when after the battle he was approached by members of Legh's close retinue whom he recognised as friends.

Although his master eventually died of his wounds, the mastiffs many small wounds were not enough to finish him and he was returned home to England (apparently honoured by the King!) and became the 'father' of the English Mastiff breed.

Great dogs, & link but that polar bear is but a puppy itself surely? A adult polar bear would take each chained dog as food I imagine?

He's very 'fierce' and cute!

Just don't feed him after midnight!
