In 2015, neither my dog(small) nor I heard the bear which walked up to us (about 6 feet) while we were on the sidewalk in town.  A passing motorist had stopped to tell me that a bear was on the next street over.  After a few seconds of thought, I decided to walk back to my house.  Only got 3/4 of the way turned around and I was looking into two large, dark eyes.  Figured I should move out of its way so it could cross the sidewalk.  That bear had jumped over a little dog gate, walked on the concrete walkway next to my neighbor's porch and stopped where his lawn drops to the sidewalk.  Never knew it was standing practically next to us in the broad daylight.  As big as a bear is, they move quietly.

Too bad the custodian wasn't around to jingle his oversized ring of keys
