A dog-owner visiting Grand Teton National Park nearly learned a very tough lesson about wildlife safety after letting their pet off its leash near a herd of bison. A video recorded by another park visitor (which you can watch below) shows the two animals facing off against one another. The bison is very agitated by the curious dog, flicking its tail and kicking up clouds of dust, but luckily for the pet and its owner, it only makes a bluff charge to force the animal back.
Many wild animals, including elk, moose and bison, usually treat domestic dogs the same way as wolves, and will attack and try to trample them. These animals rarely attack humans, and if they do, it is often a result of them being spooked by a dog.
