“You feel like a rag doll and there’s nothing you can do,” Vanessa Chaput said, adding, “I remember being thrown around.”

A brave mom who was attacked by a grizzly bear while jogging said 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, told 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 shepherd, Luna. Chaput said she is familiar with the trail, which runs alongside a highway and is near residential homes. It was 10:30 p.m, but the sun had recently set, so when Chaput rounded a corner, she clearly saw the trouble ahead.

Chaput was face-to-face with three bears.

Where did this happen, and what kind of bears?? Is it just me or is this article lacking....

Where is Yukon Canada? And is Ontario Canada inside it? Or was she visiting from our of town? This Grizzly attack was black bears?
