I know you do not want to hear this, but what the heck, I'll say it anyway at the risk of being thrown off this board. Right or no right to bear arms, the root of the problem lies in the general preference of the male species everywhere (better jobs, key positions, higher salaries, more regards).That is why men are more violent then women. They are used to get their way early on, so what happens when they cannot get their way later on: violence and natural arrogance(look at the gender of the main characters of terrorism, high school shootings. Of course the influence of violent movies (Steven Seagal)does not help.

To the OP, I would tell your friend to rely on something other than her dog for protection. A large GSD may be a visual deterrent, (at least until they start wagging their tail), and some dogs will naturally try to help pack member in a fight, but better to rely on a gun, or bear spray and a fast getaway.
To Rosalinda:
Oh boy, I don't know where to start I SO completely disagree with your generalized condemnation of male humans and the reasons why they are sooooo much more violent than women. Your entire post strikes me as bull-hockey.
Really? You are a US citizen. Name all the female presidents of your country till now. I rest my case..
And please do not get me wrong, I am not condemming men, I just mentioned a theory. I am not a femminist.

Great! Sounds like a very very sensible decision. Don't forget the bear pepperspray backup! In case of there being parts of the trail where guns are not allowed. I hope your friend enjoys her hike and all is safe and fun for her.
One very good thing about having her dog with her, she can probably sleep more easily camped out. Dogs are great "first alerts", if someone or something is trying to sneak up on her campsite.
