PA bear mauling victim treated and released

A woman who was bitten by a black bear Monday night while walking her dog in Plunketts Creek Township, Penn. was treated at an area hospital and released, according to state Game Commission officials, who are investigating the encounter. “The bear swatted the dog and the dog had to be euthanized," said Wildlife Conservation Officer Jon Wyant. "The woman went to go back toward her house and the bear caught her. She had bites on her leg, damage to her hand, and the bear may have swatted her on her head.” In the Williamsport Sun-Gazette.
