A moose charged a woman walking her dogs near the Aspen Community Garden on Wednesday morning.
After the dogs startled the animal, the moose came running toward her, police said.
The woman was walking on a trail near the garden when two of her dogs, which were off-leash, ran toward the garden and out of sight, said Gretchen Born, supervisor of the Aspen Police Department’s community resource officers.
“They came roaring out of there like wildfire, bringing the moose to her,” Born said. “She was startled.”
With the moose charging toward her, the woman backed away and took off, she said. The dogs then split up and went off in different directions, which likely confused the moose. The animal then stopped and went off in a different direction, Born said.
