Bear follows dog attacks

Bear follows dog attacks
Bear follows dog attacks, A couple in Pennsylvania were attacked by a bear right in their home. Officials say the animal followed the couple’s dog from the woods into their house and attacked them. The injuries to the two are not considered life threatening though it is feared that the bear may be rabid.The Pennsylvania Game Commission said the 10-year-old son of the couple who was in the house at the time that the incident happened was not attacked by the animal. Rich Meyer suffered back injuries while his wife Angie had a leg injury following the attack. Rich’s mother witnessed the attack. She told reporters that, “He (Rich) was the worst, of course, but she tried to help him when she came downstairs. Then the bear turned on her. I guess (it) got her in the lower extremities, either in the leg or a thigh.” Bear follows dog attacks,

The couple were taken to the Harrisburg Hospital where a spokesperson say they were treated and discharged shortly. The Game Commission of the state says there has not been a fatal bear attack in the state for a very long time. The suspected bear is currently being hunted and the officials have set up traps to help capture it and relocate it to a safer place. Bear follows dog attacks,
