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.

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,
