A brave mom who was attacked by a grizzly bear while jogging, says her 2-year-old daughter was her inspiration to survive. “I was in the wrong place at the wrong time,” Vanessa Chaput, 24, of Yukon, Canada, tells TODAY.com. On June 30, Chaput was jogging through a paved trail in between Haines Junction and Pine Lake Campground in Ontario, Canada, with her German Shepard Luna. Chaput says she is familiar with the trail, which runs alongside a highway and is near residential homes. It was 10:30 p.
” Chaput says that Luna’s sudden barking from a distance may have scared the bear because he slapped the ground with his paw and took off toward the sound of Luna’s barking. “Her barking saved my life,” says Chaput. She doesn’t know why the smaller bears didn’t attack Luna, but she suspects her mighty bark scared them away. Slowly, Chaput made her way to the Alaska Highway, where she was reunited with Luna, who was unharmed.
