Bears are related to dogs, but they are more like distant cousins instead. The two groups - and the extinct bear-dogs - have diverged from each other long enough. Thus bears are different enough from dogs, especially in behavior.

Actually, dogs and bears are more closely related than thought, they belong to the parvorder Eufissipedia, which is one of the two major groups of the infraorder Cynopsia, the other being the pinnipeds (parvorder Pinnipedia), eufissipeds are split into the superfamilies Canoidea and Ursoidea, with Canoidea containing the extinct parictids (family Parictidae) and the currently living dogs (family Canidae) and Ursoidea containing extinct families like Hemicyonidae and Ursavidae and the living families Ursidae (Bears) and Ailuropodidae (Giant Panda and Fossil Relatives).

@@indyreno2933 yea the Hemicyoninae are a basal clade of ursids, during the Middle Miocene, the two most prominent groups of land predators in the Northern Hemisphere were both caniform carnivorans, and they both combined bear-like features and dog-like features. One group was the amphicyonids or "bear-dogs", a group most closely related to bears that functioned as big cat analogues (albeit with somewhat better endurance, though by and large they were still reliant on ambush). The other group were the hemicyonines, the "dog-bears", which were true bears but acted as the equivalents of large canids or hyenas. Hemicyonines diverged from the group that would lead to all other bears very early in bear evolution; the very first hemicyonids, like Cephalogale, had diverged from other bears by 30MYA, which is all the way back in the Early Oligocene. Even as the trend in bear evolution was away from a strictly predatory lifestyle and towards generalized omnivory, hemicyonines went down the opposite path, developing the dental hardware of a hypercarnivore. Bears generally have dentition that can process both plants and meat (similar to a lot of primates including us), but these were the exception. More noteworthy, perhaps, than their dentition is their limb anatomy. Unlike other bears, hemicyonines were digitigrade, making them better suited to running down prey. While all bears can move quickly, in all Quaternary species this is more a function of raw muscle power rather than running adaptations. Hemicyonines, however, were genuinely built for speed and all the more dangerous to prey because of it.

One correction - dogs are not descendants of wolves that we tamed, next, domesticated. DNA evidence does not support this longstanding assumption. Instead, latest research indicates dogs were always their own species. (Starting out as a wild, wolfish species seperate from the Grey Wolf, but very similar.) They stood out from Grey Wolves in important social ways - cooperative nature, ability to understand our commands, and, loyalty to humans. The dogs we tamed/domesticated - survived. But the species died out in the wild. This also means trying to domesticate Grey Wolves, or cross them with dogs - is a terrible idea. We only thought it was ok - assuming dogs were "Grey Wolf 2.0 with patch notes." In reality, wolves are wild creatures that can be tamed for a while - until they regress to wild states, their behavior changes...and it all falls apart. We created the modern species of cooperative canine. It's done. It's a unfair to expect wolves to ever act like dogs. And, they won't.

Experts say that they’re like apples and oranges then immediately proceed to expound on exactly why they are similar. Bears are unpredictable, wolves are unpredictable, as are strange dogs. Loose ownerless dogs in foreign countries run in huge packs killing in much the same manner as their cousins reverting back to their wilder side.
