Polar bear meets dog. Polar bear ... pets dog.

So a polar bear and an Eskimo dog meet at the water’s edge in Canada.

What happens next might melt your heart.

David de Muelles, a guide for a touring company, told ABC News he shot the video on Nov. 12 in Churchill, Manitoba, at a famous Eskimo dog sanctuary.

“It was incredible to see such a powerful animal be so friendly with such a small dog,” de Muelles told ABC News. “Normally, these animals are known as killers."

It’s not the first time polar bears have been caught on camera having fun with dogs.
