While jogging on a trail, Vanessa Chaput and her German Shepherd, Luna, unexpectedly encountered a group of grizzly bears.
Luna bravely chased away two smaller bears, but a larger male bear attacked Chaput, causing several injuries.
Luna's persistent barking scared the bear away, potentially preventing a more serious attack and saving Chaput's life.
Chaput was hospitalized for ten days, while authorities euthanized a bear found near the attack site, citing safety concerns.
