From usatodaysports: A woman who stepped outside her condominium complex to let her dog out this week in Vermont was attacked by a momma bear after the dog chased a cub up a tree.
. The state had seen only four others in its history before this one, which was the second this year. “She came running out of the dark,” Dietl told the Reformer. “She ran right to me. It was terrifying.”
Dietl was taken to Southern Vermont Medical Center in Bennington where she received 15 staples in her scalp and was treated for a “mangled” hand, cuts to her face and a gash in her side. She was released Thursday. "Stedman said the increase in encounters is attributable to a number of factors, including an increase in both bear and human populations, a dearth of natural foods for bears this season because of a lack of rain, and the unseasonable temperatures throughout the region this fall.
