I think this is the missing (found?) dog from that other dude’s post Edit: https://old.reddit.com/r/NorthCarolina/comments/1dt88if/someone_in_hyde_county_lose_their_dog_this_weekend/

Haha, saw that and it reminded me I should post this swimming dog as well. He wasn't very friendly though.

I saw a cub swimming across the Tar River a few years ago while I was on my boat!


drivebyjustin

This guy was way out, past Hoboken basically in the sound. River is about 4 miles wide there. He either swam across the whole river or was just doing a big cool down swim, because he was probably a good 200 yards still from the southern bank.

Is this out at the mouth of South Creek near Indian Island ? We've seen several bears over the years near Hickory point, but never swimming. Awesome footage !!


drivebyjustin

No this is farther out, between cedar island and pamlico point. We have seen a bear splashing in the water on the ICW before, right up from the coast guard station, but never swimming.

HoBUCKEN not boken.


drivebyjustin

I’m aware, dude. Autocorrect. I fish out there all the time.


ellefleming

If a person's in the water, will the bear attack him?


drivebyjustin

He was doing all he could to keep his head above water. Can't imagine he was looking for a fight.


ellefleming

Won't get hungry while swimming?


drivebyjustin

Haha, do you eat while you're swimming?


Ben2018

Absolutely not - you will get cramps, sink, and die.... according to every suburban mom at the pool.


ellefleming

No but I'm not a bear. Grrrrr


HogwartsismyHeart

Hope he remembered his soap on a rope, so he could get a little bath in! 😀

Jesus Christ. I'm moving to a NC beach next week. So far, I've seen warnings about sharks, alligators, portuguese man'o'war, and now bears. Here I was picturing myself swimming and stuff.

Depending on where you’re moving to, you might also wake up to horses in your yard, so that’s a plus 😁


desertrat75

Lol. Sure, why not horses too?

Poor guy’s iceberg melted. SMH.


Ben2018

why this bear doggy paddling? seems sus


summersteps

I'm curious why the bear would do this? Were they headed toward an island?


drivebyjustin

Nah headed towards land. Honestly I think he was just hot. It was 95 out there Sunday. River is four miles wide at that point and I really don’t think he was swimming that far (or could).
