[NBC5] The Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife released new details about a terrifying encounter between a female bear and a Winhall resident that happened on Wednesday night.
Investigators said 43-year-old Sarah Dietl of Winhall was attacked by a bear in the yard of her condominium complex near Stratton Mountain Resort after letting her dog into the yard.
Dietl told Vermont Fish and Wildlife game wardens that her dog, a Shih Tzu, chased a bear cub that was in the yard up a tree, triggering the attack. She then said that the cub’s mother charged her and knocked her to the ground.
Dietl’s partner said he heard her call for help and was able to separate Sarah Dietl from the bear and bring her inside the home.
When the couple tried to get their dog to come inside, the bear allegedly charged at the door. It was unable to get inside. [FULLSTORY]
