DeDe Phillips, 46, said the incident occurred last Thursday after she finished working on her truck

The will to survive helped Phillips overcome the ferocious wild animal as she strangled the animal to death after it pounced on her

Fortunately for Phillips, she was familiar with the animal's behavior as her father-in-law was once a bobcat trapper

Doctors have begun Phillips on a round of rabies vaccinations, which is estimated to cost more than $10,000
