No offense taken.
'Cause your wrong. 
Bears:
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Carnivora
Family: Ursidae
Genus: Ursus
(The American Black Bear's scrientific name is
Ursus americanus.)
Dogs:
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Carnivora
Family: Canidae
Genus: Canis
(The scientific name of the domestic dog is
Canis lupus familiaris.)
They are related because they are both carnivorous mammals. But bears aren't dogs and dogs arent' bears. And bears are much more likely to be vegetarians/omnivores ... eatign the same stuff that deer and other game animals for the msot part eat ... than pure carnivores.
