A man who was nearly drowned by a black bear that leaped into the swampy shallows of a Canadian lake after him, has described how he pleaded with the bear as he fought to stay above the surface, and to stay alive.

Brandon Lattie, 27, might not be alive to tell the tale if it weren’t for a bear-hating dog.
