This is the adorable - and extraordinary - moment a wild polar bear pets a chained-up sled dog in the Canadian wilds.
非常溫馨驚奇的一幕：加拿大一只野生北極熊輕輕拍打雪橇犬。

Polar bears weigh 330-990lbs and can easily kill a dog. But this footage, shot by David De Meulles of Manitoba, shows the bear gently stroking the placid animal on the head.
北極熊重達330-339磅，能輕而易舉的殺死一只狗。但是大衛(wèi)?德?穆勒斯在馬尼托巴湖邊拍攝的這個畫面里，北極熊伸出了自己的爪子溫柔地撫摸著雪橇犬的頭。

'I had no idea what was going to happen, and then sure enough he started petting that dog, acted like he was a friend,' De Meulles told CBC. I just so happened to catch a video of a lifetime.'
德?穆勒斯告訴CBC記者：“我不知道發(fā)生了什么，但然后它就開始（用熊掌）撫摸那只狗，就像是一個朋友一樣。我只是恰好捕捉到了這樣一個難得一見的畫面?！?/div>

De Meulles was taking tourists to see polar bears when they came across the dogs, chained up on the property of local man Brian Ladoon.
德?穆勒斯當(dāng)時正好帶著游客來觀賞熊，恰好碰到了這只由當(dāng)?shù)厝瞬既R恩?拉頓飼養(yǎng)的雪橇犬。

Ladoon breeds the rare sled dogs, which are impervious to the cold - and clearly fearless too.
拉頓飼養(yǎng)的這種品種罕見、不懼嚴寒的雪橇犬，顯然膽子也很大。

At first, the bear towers over the chained animal, which placidly lies at its feet.
起初，被拴住的雪橇犬安靜的躺在北極熊的腳邊。

But then the beast reaches out tenderly with its right paw and gently brings it down over the dog's head.
然后北極熊伸出右爪溫柔地，輕輕的放在狗狗的頭上。

It sniffs the dog, which has barely reacted, and pets it again, more confidently this time. Then it switches to its left paw and begins rubbing the dog's head.
這只狗狗沒有反應(yīng)，北極熊再一次更大膽地輕輕拍打它。然后用左爪輕輕撫摸雪橇犬的頭。

At this point the pooch, apparently slightly irritated by its wild companion, stands up and begins to walk off.
這一次，狗狗可能對這只兇猛的北極熊的行為有點惱怒，它站起來準(zhǔn)備離開。

'I've known the bears to have somewhat friendly behaviour with the dogs, but for a bear to pet like a human would pet a dog is just mind-blowing,' De Meulles said.
德?穆勒斯說：“我以前也了解熊有時會對狗表現(xiàn)出一些友好行為，但一頭大熊， 像人類喜歡寵物一樣對待狗狗， 還真是令人耳目一新”。

'It was a beautiful sight to see, and I just can't believe an animal that big would show that kind of heart toward another animal.'
“這種場景非常美妙，我不相信像那種龐然大物會對其它動物做出這么有愛的行為?！?/div>
Ladoon told CBC that the dogs, which are bred for the cold, see the chilly area as a 'paradise' and are rarely troubled by predators, save the occasional attack by wolves.
拉登告訴CBC記者，冰天雪地對于這種能抵御寒冷的狗狗簡直是“天堂”。除了偶爾狼的攻擊，它們很少受到其它食肉動物的傷害。
