Rudy Noorlander, a Montana man who was attacked by a grizzly bear and had the front of his lower jaw bitten off, is set to return home after five weeks in a Utah hospital. Noorlander, who communicated through writing on a whiteboard, expressed his excitement about reuniting with his dog, enjoying a root beer float, and potentially attending a football game.
