Nikki, Wild Dog of the North (2000)

In the Canadian Rockies, trapper Andre Dupas (Jean Coutu) and his Alaskan Malemute companion, Nikki, take in a stray bear cub. When a canoe accident separates the animals from their master, Nikki and the bear cub are left to survive the harsh Canadian wilderness on their own. Soon the animals encounter danger from poacher Jacques Lebeau (Emile Genest) and his Native American sidekick, Makoki (Uriel Luft), who want to train Nikki to become a pit-fighting dog.
