Hudson, a 6 year old sled dog meets 1200 lb polar
bear. The bear approached Hudson in a loping way
.. Inviting play. Hudson didnt bark or flee
he wagged his tail and bowed, a classic play
signal.

The two wrestled and rolled around so
energetically that at one point the bear had to
lie down, belly up a universal sign in the
animal kingdom for a time-out.

At another point during their romp, the bear
paused to envelope Hudson in an affectionate
embrace.

They met every night for a week they met for a
play date.

After a week the ice on the bay was thick enough
for the famished but entertained polar bear to
return to his hunting grounds for seal.
Play is a
tremendously powerful force
throughout nature.
