bear hunting washington

i live in washington state,can i bring my dog along for the walk when i hunt bear? only for company, not hunt.
bear season is aug 1st. the regulation says no dogs for big game to pursue or attack, injure big game any only not during DEER AND ELK season, says nothing bout bear, so as long as he stays by be, doesnt flush, chase or attack the bear? anybody done this?
I believe you , but try to convince the game warden, and then the judge to believe you.
