Question:
Local Dog Attacked by Bear
The Fremont County Sheriff's Department is investigating a report of a dog being attacked by a bear. The facts shape up like this:
There have been several reports of bear sightings in the area.
A dog suffered moderately severe wounds and scratches.
The dog was attacked the evening of Friday February 19.
The dog was attacked on the 100 block of Cheswold Lane in Mifflintown.
The veterinarian treating the dog reported the injuries to authorities on Tuesday.
The dog is a three-year-old German Shephard named Wilhelm.
The dog will recover, but is missing his right ear flap and half of his tail had to be amputated. A tendon in his right front leg was shattered. Wilhelm will limp for the rest of his life.
According to the sheriff's department report, injuries to the dog are characteristic of bear slashes and bites. Claw marks on the dog's body are clearly from adult bear claws.
You call Mary Wyse, the wildlife biologist for Fremont County, and record this quote:
"Without a witness, we can't say exactly what happened to the dog. To be cautious, we are reminding residents to monitor pets and keep them on the property."
Next, you interview Tom Heisman, the manager of public works for Fremont County. He tells you:
There are no previous records of dogs being injured by bears in your county.
Officials are putting up cameras in wooded areas near where the dog was attacked.
You record this quote from Heisman:
"We want to remind residents that bears come looking for food in neighborhoods. If you see a bear, keep a safe, respectful distance. Also, keep trash in animal-proof containers."
