A dog is a dog. They're more likely to draw aggro from a bear and bring it to you than warn you of the presence of another threat. This is one of the reasons that when hiking you're advised to keep your dog on a leash. My state government is pretty open about that risk.

- hollerith 2y agoOK, but I've heard a bear expert or 2 (on Youtube) say that it will increase the probability that a bear will attack you if you bring a dog with you.
- mattpallissard 2y agoMaybe, I don't claim to be an expert. But I have watched dogs tree aggressive bears with my own eyes.
