TRENDING NOW: Charging moose terrorizes dogs and dogsledders in Alaska

Some southern Americans has an intense moose encounter while dog sledding on vacation in Alaska.

The encounter was captured on a helmet camera and the video was posted to Lesley Vivienne’s Facebook page, The pair of vacationers were visiting Alaska from Oklahoma. Her boyfriend was the cameraman.

In a wintery landscape, the video shows a dog sled tour come to a stop upon realizing a moose is on the trail. The moment unfolded suddenly as the moose charged the entire team of dogs, kicking as many as it could before raging towards all of the humans. 

“The dogs are all 100% fine and all of them finished the tour happy as could be,” she said in the caption.

Vivienne is thankful that the extent of her injuries are bruises on her legs.

“The guide from the second team that was behind us said he’s ran dogs for 36 years and that was his first experience like that.”

Despite the “freak accident,” Vivienne said, in the caption, she would book with the same company again.

“We’re laughing now, but I won’t lie that was 100% me screamin’ like a lil’ bitch when I went down.”
