California Drone Search Takes Shocking Turn As Missing Husky Is Found Surrounded By Bears

By Mike Miller 10/19/2025

People often say dogs are humanity’s closest companions. The bond between a pup and their favorite person runs deep, and when that connection is suddenly broken, the sense of loss can be overwhelming.

That’s exactly what one California couple experienced when their beloved Husky vanished without a trace. They searched everywhere they could think of, but as the hours passed, hope began to fade.

Still determined not to give up, the pair turned to technology. They launched their drone into the sky, hoping it might spot something they couldn’t from the ground. Relief filled them when the familiar shape of their Husky appeared on the drone’s screen.

That feeling quickly shifted to astonishment once they noticed who their missing dog was spending time with.

A Startling Discovery From Above


A video captured by the couple’s drone was later shared on Instagram by user @sailorjerrithedogtrainer. The title of the post revealed exactly why the footage stunned so many people.

“Owners were using a drone to find their missing husky. He was chillin’ with wild bears,” the Instagram user who posted the video wrote.

Yes, it was true, the Husky had somehow found himself in the company of a few wild bears. While cross-species friendships can sometimes be heartwarming, this particular situation was anything but comforting for the people watching.

Bears are unpredictable, and seeing three of them wandering close to your dog would make anyone panic. At several points in the clip, one of the bears even seemed to get too close for comfort, raising the tension further.


Fortunately, things never turned violent. By the end of the footage, the bears appeared to accept the Husky’s presence, though they were clearly not amused. The unlikely standoff made the video oddly entertaining to viewers, if not to the Husky’s frantic owners.

It’s safe to say their hearts must have been racing the entire time.

Internet Reactions Pour In

The video spread quickly across social media, drawing a flood of reactions. After all, it’s not something you see every day: a Husky calmly hanging out with a trio of bears.

Viewers couldn’t resist adding their own humor to the bizarre scene.

“You just know this husky has major Donkey from Shrek vibes,” one user joked.

“Ask your mom if I can sleep over!😂” another commented.

A third added, “Bears are like HIS FUR IS ON EVERYTHING.”

The video left people both laughing and amazed. While it’s unclear exactly how the couple managed to bring their adventurous pet home, one thing is certain: their Husky became an instant internet favorite.

And fortunately, even the bears seemed to show a surprising amount of patience, allowing the daring pup to walk away unharmed.
