Joe Pendry used his experience as a boxer to fight for his life when a mother grizzly attacked him, grabbed him by the head and inflicted horrific injuries in British Columbia’s East Kootenay region this month.
His wife, Janice Pendry, has described how her 63-year-old husband survived the attack that took place near Fort Steele, northeast of Cranbrook, on Oct. 2 while he was hunting elk and encountered the bear, which had two cubs.
