Its true, thus my comment about dog marking camp perimeter... Most, bears are naturally lazy and any site that has a dog (wolf??) in residence means that its more work than its worth, unless said bear is starving.
I've seen them come up to the marked perimeter then wander off. In once case I later heard another group nearby had been "invaded" and lost one of their food packs.
I still take the usual precautions about hanging the food and cooking well away from where I sleep.
