Leegstra was on a run with her dog near the Pine Lake campground at around 10 p.m. that day when she spotted a group of bears.
"I was trying to give them space before my dog noticed, but she either saw or smelt them... and she took off towards them," she said.
Leegstra's dog was leashed, but upon seeing the bears it broke free and chased away two female bears.
"Because they're in rut right now, they're extremely aggressive and territorial, so because my dog chased away the females, it triggered a territorial aggression protecting his females, his sows," she said.
The male grizzly began charging towards her. Leegstra remembers she didn't run, didn't scream, and quickly tried to put a tree between herself and the oncoming bear.

In a July 2 statement from Yukon Conservation Officer Services, a spokesperson wrote that arriving officers euthanized a bear that was present at the location of the attack. Three additional bears that matched Leegstra's description were located and two more were euthanized. Efforts to locate the fourth bear are still ongoing.
