Some dogs look like other animals, often wolves but even unrelated ones like bears and in some cases with chowchows, lions.

But certainly during that long period of time there were telltale signs that cubs were not dogs.

Surely looking at the feet would have given him a clue - bear paws/claws vs dog paws? Then, how about the sound a bear makes vs. a dog barking or whimpering, or howling? How about the volume of food it would take to satisfy a bear vs. a dog, or just watching them walk or run? The gait is totally different. Did he never take it to the vet for shots or illness of any kind? How can anybody be that clueless for 2 years?

Besides, bears are omnivores and eat mostly fruits, whereas dogs are fully carnivorous. I highly doubt he was able to healthily raise bear cubs for two years with nothing but dog food and meat.
Can't remember the last time Polar Bears ate fruits and vegetables.

Dogs on the other hand, do eat vegetables and fruits.

Some people think hyenas are dogs too, they are not.
