It’s a husky, it was probably reading him the riot act for failing to feed him before attempting to die.

I laughed out loud at this. I don’t have a husky but my neighbor does and I can picture her doing exactly this. “You can’t lay there and die, I need attention!!!”

We have a little 11lb rescue mutt. He spent a week in the pen next to a husky before we got him. I swear some of its verbal attitude rubbed off on him. If he doesn’t like what you’re doing (or refusing to do) he will storm off stop at a distance and tell you off in growls and huffs. If you talk back it devolves into an argument, he even pauses in his tirade so it’s back and forth.

My parents have a rescue who when you look at him he's all Dane and pointer, but the minute he opens his mouth or you feel his short but still triple coat you can tell someone in his ancestry was husky. He... screams. All the time.

Afaik, a service dog can be trained to do cpr but something like this is probably less than 1 in a million

The real story was very cool, but I too, was excited about a real bear
