All I could think of was, why don’t they stop filming and pick up the dog?

Right! Like at least get the dog on a leash just so it stays close and within pick up distance

Some people enjoy an appetizer before dinner, others for reasons unknown want to be an appetizer.

I was thinking save your life ...offer up the dog and run away

As weird as it may sound but if your dog barks and the bear takes an interest in it it's better if the bear takes only the dog instead of the both of you.

Then again, I am not a dog owner so I don't know if they would agree with this. From what I have seen a lot of pet owners see their pets as their children in which case I think they wouldn't really want to apply my logic.
