Summary
June 7 near Skilak Lake, Lori Price fired a Glock 43 9mm at a black bear attacking her dog Chaos during a mushroom-foraging trip on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula.
Price said the first shot dropped the bear, but it got up twice more, prompting another shot before she fled with Chaos and her other dog, Willis.
911 contact was difficult because of poor cellphone reception, and responders helped stabilize Chaos before Price drove him to a veterinary clinic.
Chaos suffered multiple bite wounds and major blood loss but was released later that day and is expected to make a full recovery; Willis was uninjured.
Price credited veterinarian Dr. Patrick with saving the German short-haired pointer's life as the dog has already regained the ability to walk.
