@abc7chicago: A woman had a frighteningly close encounter with a grizzly bear as she was walking her dog at a wilderness camp in Alberta, Canada, on Wednesday, June 24. Jelmer de Blois, a licensed hiking and wilderness guide with Wilderness Escape Adventures, said the woman, Jessie, had just stepped outside with her morning coffee in hand to walk her dog Skoki down the gravel driveway when the bear appeared. Footage here shows the large grizzly circling Jessie and Skoki several times as Jessie tries desperately yelling for the bear to stop. “I felt scared, very confused, unsure what the next move should be,” Jessie said. In order to get away, she threw her coffee mug and when she saw the bear go to investigate it, she started running. When she looked back, the grizzly was chasing her once again. “She darted into one of the tents at camp, while others nearby yelled and waved their arms as a distraction,” de Blois told Storyful. “She made it inside with her dog and spent the next 15 minutes rewatching the footage until the bear wandered off and chased a moose.”
