This is from a film called The Bear or L’Ours. It features Bart the Bear as the and Tchéky Karyo as one of the hunters.
The film is set in British Columbia, but it was filmed in the Dolomites.
That’s why the hunting dogs are mostly Beaucerons, a breed that would have been hard to find in British Columbia. In the late 80’s, they weren’t very common anywhere in North America. And in the late nineteenth century, this breed was totally unknown on this continent.
If you’ll watch the full movie, things do not go well for that Airedale.
One of my favorite films as a child. I think it’s a tour de force for the editor and cinematographer, creating an emotional story out of animal actors that don’t have the benefit of voice overs by comedians.
