A mother of three in Alaska is lucky to be alive after a brutal bear mauling left her bloodied and fighting for her life just steps from her front door.
Ariean Fabrizio Colton was viciously attacked early Tuesday morning outside her home, when wildlife officials say a brown bear charged and dragged her nearly the length of a football field.
Colton had just stepped out for a jog around 5 AM when the bear came barreling in from a nearby property -- pouncing about 150 feet from her front porch.
Colton was conscious but suffering gruesome injuries to her face and scalp. She was rushed nearly three hours away to a hospital where she underwent surgery. Her family, who started a GoFundMe for her, says she remains stable but faces a long road to recovery.
