A couple residing in Harrisburg was attacked by a black bear when it followed their pet dog into their home.
The black bear had spotted the dog which was outside of the couple’s home and began chasing the animal, ultimately ending up inside of the house. The bear became violent with the residents of the home and both were injured in the attack and taken to a local hospital.
After the attack the bear exited the home and officers were planning a search around the neighboring areas to capture the animal. The bear would be put down if it possessed the characteristics of having rabies.
Bear attacks are not common in this area and when they do occur the bear is usually searching for food.
