![[BREAKING] Alaska woman uses weapon to survive terrifying bear attack after predator mauls pooch: ‘I thought I was dead’](https://nypost.com/wp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2Fi-thought-i-dead-lori-131257012.jpg?w%3D632)
An Alaska woman says a gun she was carrying helped save her dog's life after a black bear attacked the animal during a mushroom-hunting trip on the Kenai Peninsula earlier this month.
Lori Price was hiking near Skilak Lake on June 7, with her German Shorthaired Pointer, Chaos, and her chocolate Labrador, Willis, when the hike suddenly became dangerous.
Price told Alaska News Source he heard a roar and immediately realized a bear had run into his dogs.
“I heard the bear and realized what was going on,” Price said.
"My sudden reaction was: I have to get to my dog now." When he saw Chaos being attacked, Price pulled out a Glock 43 9mm pistol he was carrying and shot the bear.
"I pulled out my gun and shot.
Boom! The bear drops like a sack of potatoes," he recalled.
Price initially believed the danger had passed.
But as he checked on Chaos, who was suffering from multiple bites and significant blood loss, the bear got back up.
"All of a sudden, the bear stands up again.
And I'm like, 'Oh my God.
What?'" he recalled.
Price and his dogs fled the area as the bear headed in the opposite direction.
While returning to his vehicle, Price called 911, although he said poor cell phone reception made it difficult to stay in contact with dispatchers.
After reaching her car, she called out to a passing driver and told them that she and her dog had been attacked.
First responders arrived and helped care for Chaos before Price took him to a veterinary clinic for treatment.
“My heart broke,” Price said.
"I had so many bite marks.
It was like the bear thought I was like a little sardine." Price credited veterinarian Dr.
Patrick for helping save the dog's life.
“Dr.
Patrick called me from the veterinary clinic and I owe him my dog's life,” she said.
Chaos was released from the clinic that same day and is expected to make a full recovery.
Price said the dog has regained his ability to walk and continues to recover from the attack.
"Obviously, we're going through a great recovery, but he's very lucky to be alive," she said.
