A 13 year old Burns Lake boy is in hospital in Vancouver after he was attached by a Grizzly bear in the area west of Burns Lake. He was taken to hospital in Burns Lake and later transferred to Vancouver.
He was walking with a friend when the bear attached. One Conservation Officer says it appears the boy’s dog went off into the bush, came across the bear, and when the dog went back to its master, brought the bear with it.
The boy was listed as stable with several injuries including a fractured skull. The second child was able to flee to safety.
