Tracey Hansen, of Anchorage, Alaska, was left dazed and bloody after being attacked by a moose while walking her dog, Gunner.
Hansen takes Gunner for the same walk three times a day, but this is interrupted by an unwanted guest who charged Hansen from behind, jumping on her and kicking her in the head.
Hansen said that after she was hit, she first thought “someone hadn’t been paying attention and hit me with a bicycle or something.”
“I put my hands to my head and said, ‘I’m bleeding,'” he said. Alaska News Feed.
The delinquent moose is seen about to take down an unsuspecting Tracey Hansen, who initially thought she had been hit by a careless cyclist.
It wasn’t until she sat up and took stock of the situation that she realized it was a moose that had knocked her down. The animal was now in front of her.
Fortunately, moments before the moose attacked, Kate Timmons and her family made it to Hansen, who was walking along the side of Old Seward Highway at the time.
Timmons, in addition to recording the incident, attempted to warn Hansen about the moose that was chasing her.
Timmons and his family scared away the moose and ran to help the woman.
“My husband was able to pull her over the snow bank, so we could get her in the truck with her dog and get her out of the way,” Timmons said.
“It definitely seemed unprovoked from our point of view and it happened so quickly that it was like, a matter of getting her out of the situation, getting her help, making sure, you know, my big thing was that she didn’t have a head injury, that there wasn’t a hemorrhage or something.
Timmons added that she was concerned about what might have happened if her family did not witness the attack and provide assistance at the scene.
The high snowbanks may have made it difficult for another passing car to see Hansen lying on the ground.
Hansen ended up with three staples to his head and is still suffering from lingering headaches after the match.
The moose, whose attack appeared to have been unprovoked, was driven from the scene by Kate Timmons, who saw the attack go down.
Tracey Hansen eventually received three staples to the head and is still suffering from headaches. In the background of the image are piled snowdrifts that may have prevented other passersby from seeing Hansen on the ground.
Hansen says the moose attack won’t keep her and her dog Gunner off the road for long.
Kate Timmons, who recorded the incident and sprang into action to help Hansen, said she was glad to help immediately.
Hansen said she and Kate have since discussed “that the Lord put her in the right place at the right time to help.”
She added that despite the criminal moose activity that seems to be plaguing the area, she and Gunner will be back to their normal walks before long.
The moose won’t stop that.
