MormonTimes.com: Man who saved girl from bear attack says divine intervention was key
Abigail Sisk was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Luckily for her, Robert VinZant was in the right place at the right time.
VinZant rescued Sisk from a bear that had her head in its jaws at the Kenai Princess Lodge in Anchorage, Alaska, on July 23. The Mormon father of six scared off the bear, saving Sisk's life.
"I've always questioned whether or not I could put myself in the line of fire for anybody else," VinZant said. "(The night of the attack) it wasn't even a question. I just went and did."
