Thunder Bay's Trevor Miller will never look at bears the same. It follows an attack this week in Sandbar Provincial Park near Ignace. Miller tells our newsroom that it was a harrowing experience that seemed like it would never end as the whole ordeal lasted about 2 hours as he tried to dodge the bear by going in the water. He says at one point he smacked the bear on the nose with a stick as it swam towards him, but that only stopped the stalking for a short period as the bear regrouped itself. Miller says it all ended when his dog went after the bear and was killed in the process.
