On a trip to the Turbine Canyon Campground in Alberta, Jose Rodrigo Rosales’s dog began to bark aggressively, prompting him to turn around and catch sight of a grizzly bear and her two cubs no more than 15 feet away.

With no bear spray available, they ran through the trees looking for other hikers that Rosales knew were nearby. Fortunately, the hikers had also noticed what was happening and started yelling in order to try and scare the bears away. Credit: Jose Rodrigo Rosales via Storyful
