Yesterday, we posted about trouble caused by a family having coyotes in the back yard. Well this guy's got polar bears. Incredibly, however, the two species do not come in conflict but seem to enjoy playing with each other. Your heart jumps into your throat when you see the bear playfully "mouth" the dog, but the huge animal turns out to be very gentle. In some shots, the bears seem to be begging the dogs to play with them.https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8188/8407787977_0673dc78cf.jpg
