On June 30th, 2024, twenty-something mother Vanessa Chaput was preparing to go out for a jog along the road near the campsite. Vanessa and her husband, Dave Leegstra had recently welcomed a little girl to their family and Vanessa was working hard on getting back into shape following her pregnancy.
Luna was a German Shepherd and was Vanessa’s favorite jogging partner. Vanessa would always put a leash on Luna and the companions would bounce along the jogging path for a while together. Before departing Vanessa put her hair up with a hair clip just before grabbing Luna’s leash and heading out the door for an evening run. I could find no source indicating Vanessa brought along bear spray or a firearm on her run on this day.
After a short distance, Luna and Vanessa found their groove and settled into a comfortable pace. As they rounded a bend in the road, Luna began acting differently shortly before the dark shapes of four grizzly bears materialized off the road several yards.
Being a native of Haines Junction, Vanessa knew that a close-range confrontation with a single bear could end badly, let alone four bears. She noticed that none of these grizzlies was a cub, and they were each full grown and powerfully built. She decided to try to slink away quietly before Luna tugged the leash from her hands and dashed toward the grizzlies.
It isn’t clear if Luna had smelled or seen the bears, but either way, she instantly went into protection mode. As soon as Luna began barking, two of the grizzlies disappeared into the brush as Vanessa pleaded with her to stop.
The largest of the grizzlies didn’t run off though. As Luna chased the fleeing grizzlies, the massive boar charged toward Vanessa. With the boar bearing down on her, Vanessa clenched her jaws in terror and held her hands out in front of her, still taking small steps backward. As her mind drifted to her husband and daughter a resolve welled up inside of her to fight for her life.
Most people have no idea how quick a grizzly bear is. It seems unfathomable that an animal that large can move so rapidly across the most challenging terrain. Before Vanessa could do anything to avoid the bear's jaws, it clamped down on her right forearm crunching bones and tearing flesh wherever its teeth touched. In a series of rapid bites, the grizzly chewed its way along Vanessa’s forearm. The grizzly reached out with both paws and embraced Vanessa in a bear hug to pull her closer to its jaws.
The crunching of bones wasn’t a new sound to this massive bear, and it wasted no movement or time in biting onto Vanessa’s head. That is when a curious thing happened. As the grizzly chomped down on the top rear portion of Vanessa’s head, her hair clip crunched under the power of the bear's bite. It must have believed this familiar crunching noise was the sound of Vanessa’s skull or neck breaking. It momentarily let up on its attack.
This lull in the attack allowed Vanessa to scamper away from the bear. Knowing her survival depended on her finding a way to escape, she hid behind a tree and remained quiet as she watched the bear. Vanessa compressed herself into the smallest shape she could hoping it would hide her location from the bear.
But a grizzly bear isn’t easily fooled by distractions. The giant boar bounded up to the tree that separated it from Vanessa and pawed at the ground in an intimidating display of power. Luna had now returned and barked at the bear while dashing in and out. The angry boar turned toward Luna and gave chase, giving Vanessa a few seconds to look for an avenue of retreat.
Ducking into a ditch, Vanessa fled toward the nearby Alaska Highway in hopes of escaping the bear attack and finding someone to help her. After emerging onto the highway, Vanessa called her husband on her cell phone, setting off a series of first responders to come to her aid. As she waited for help, blood poured from the wounds in her misshapen and broken right forearm and the deep gashes and puncture wounds in her scalp.
An ambulance sped toward Vanessa’s location and medics were soon bandaging her wounds while loading her onto a gurney. She was rushed to Whitehorse General Hospital for emergency medical treatment.
By 10:30 PM, conservation officers had responded to the campground and began hunting for the aggressive boar grizzly. They ordered an immediate evacuation of all campsites at the campground causing a flurry of activity amongst the occupants. Camper Lee Carruthers stated that he could see several armed wildlife officers converge on the campground. As he packed his vehicle and began to depart, he heard four shotgun blasts shatter the silence just after 2 AM.

Here’s a hint, when going out jogging be careful of tripping through a forest where you know it is filled with raging grizzly bears. Skipping along in the forest where a monster can be lurking around any tree.How stupid do you have to be for you to do something like this. You can’t feel sorry for this woman I know I can’t, because ignorance and stupidity is what got her into the situation to begin with. A smart person would know better, a smart person would not care about their health and they’re running ability in a forest full of grizzlies. So yeah just saying.

[@BillDo-gd5me]

Imagine if you saw a woman with a fantastic butt jogging and you said “g’day madam, fine weather isn’t it?” And she was like “no chance, dork” and then half an hour later you find out that a bear killed her and took off with her upper body but left her lower body PERFECTLY intact. Don’t lie, you would take the lower half and hump it for days.

Majority of g.bear attacks based on studies are defensive ie. mom with cubs or associated with dogs as in this case. The dog ran after the bears in this situation (tugged and ran) despite being on a leash. I think no one should bring their dogs into areas with G.bears, period. The attack in Alberta recently last summer, involved a dog as well. Wolves will attack a weak bear/vice versa hence bears are in flight or fight around dogs even a tiny one as it smells like a wolf. The bears were ignoring her she said, she saw them and did not feel threatened but then the dog ran after the bears, two female bears ran away from the dog but the tough male bear trying to protect ect.. ran after the dog. Humans need to act with responsibility around g.bears, now the bears were euthanized.

I am very glad Vanessa will be okay, but no one is mentioning that she went out jogging at 10pm. Animals come out to feed and are most active in early mornings and in the evening when it is cool, so you are more likely to encounter wildlife during those times. That’s a big error on Vanessa’s part as well as not having bear spray accessible in a holster. And it appears the big boar was triggered by the dog. 3 major mistakes.

My thoughts are that once she happened upon those Four Grizzlies. A definite attack was going too happen no matter what she did. The evidence she gave? Of that Big boars initial and immediate response are convincing, too me. That it was gonna happen. From the evidence of her story? Vanessa was a very Lucky person that Day. For ❔#2 Luna's sake? She apparently chased off the other Three Bear's or partially distracted them from attacking Her owner Vanessa & possibly getting them both killed. All the other theories are just skeptical, or basic questions which are always, being asked. About what should've been done or could be done? They are very hard too answer as always. This attack on Vanessa & Her dog. IS so similar to many other's, of it just being an accidental or by chance encounter, of surprise, OWTF is gonna happen now. Although people are aware of the Danger's that they face? They still aren't prepared or even suspecting that these encounters can & often will happen to them in area's known as Bear Country. To me it's Not the Bear's that are at fault, the majority of the Times. But it is an ever more increasing fact? That the more we venture into the Bears domain & area's of habitat? That the likelihood & frequency of our encounters are going too continue too increase and possibly become more violent, and severe more often than ever before. With these more pertinent thoughts in mind? The now responsible Dept's need too ramp up thier policies, and regulations about the problems with Bears. Then go on ahead & institute more stringent, or aggressive rule's too deal with the problem's they are going to face 👀👀 in the near Future. TKS.

Her need to jog cost 4 bears the right to be bears and if they were all male that ended countless generations of an endangered species.

Therefore, they choose to put them all down, so none of this behavior could be handed down to the next generation.

The bears didn't do *anything* only until that dog got away from its' hapless owner. How hard is it to hold onto a leash so a dog can't escape? For this victim to speculate that the attack would've occurred regardless of whether her dog instigated it or not is ridiculous. That's some self-fulfilling prophecy right there for her to "just know" the attack would've happened regardless. Pure BS. So...each & every one of those bears died when only one was responsible for the attack. And the one that attacked might not have attacked if it weren't for this woman who couldn't hold onto a dog leash. I dare say she purposely let go of the leash so her dog would distract the bears...or so she assumed. Totally senseless.
