nsnbc : A woman in the Belgian town of Beringen was attacked by a wild boar and probably protected by her dog. The woman was out jogging and was returning to her car when she was attacked in a car park.
The unlucky woman, Verlee Vanhove, tried to flee from the boar but in vain. Ms. Vanhove sustained several grazes as a result of her encounter with the wild animal.
Commenting on the attack and the fact that her dog protected her she told reporters: “The wild boar jumped on me and my dog. I let out a yell. The boar receded but then stood stock still glaring at me. My dog stayed on top of me protecting me!”
Wild boar attacks are rare but can be dangerous and even fatal. Most attacks occur during the animals rutting season between November and January.
Wild boars, especially in areas where they are hunted, tend to shy away from contact with humans.

Once a boar or boars attack they initially inflict injuries on the lower extremities, using their tusks. Once the victim falls to the ground they tend to continue the attack until the victim stops moving.
Boars then tend to step back, take position, and charge again if the victim moves. The fact that Verlee Vanhove has had her dog with her may have prevented further attacks.
The local mayor maintains that the wild boar was a specimen that had been living in captivity as animals living in the wilds do not seek contact with human beings.
While this may be so, it is also worth noting that the attack took place at a car park. Boars, especially those who lack access to a sustainable natural habitat, can be attracted by leftovers and garbage and be protective of their “food source”.
