  • Her German shepherd, Luna, chased away two smaller bears, leaving her with a larger male bear.
  • Chaput sustained significant injuries, including a broken arm and over 30 stitches.
  • The attack ended when Luna's barking distracted the bear, allowing Chaput to call for help.
  • Authorities euthanized three bears in the area and are investigating the incident further.
