After looking at that picture more and more, I believe that it is a dog with it's left, rear leg closest to you in the bottom right hand corner of the picture with its head down where you can't see it. Looks a good deal like my lab, german shepherd, border collie mix...just a little more brownish/amberish. No way is that a bear where you are located...unless it got loose from a zoo or is a pet on the loose. Dog fo sho.

"Range and Habitat: The original distribution of the black bear in Kansas probably encompassed the eastern half of the state, where it occupied forest and woodland habitats. Farther west it was found principally in riparian forests along stream and river courses, and was probably rare or absent from open grasslands. Presently, the black bear may occur in southeastern Kansas only as individuals dispersing from Missouri and Arkansas (see remarks section)."

Live2Draw has the info. Also the Missouri Dept of Conservation has a 3 part series of black bear.

and
I agree, 100%, too narrow through the belly to be a bear, especially this time of year when they are busy packing the pounds on.
and
Based on his response, I'd be more assured it's a dog, looks a lot like a chocolate lab to me. If he's said mini-cow patty looking things with berry seeds and such, I'd say he has a bear in his area, but only a pic of a dog.
