Black bear attacks woman, dog on back deck of property in Anmore, B.C.

British Columbia's Conservation Officer Service responded to a bear attack on Monday in Anmore, where a woman and her dog were injured on the back deck of their property. The woman received medical attention for non-life threatening injuries, and the bear left the property by the time officers arrived. The service is monitoring the area for bear activity and will respond as necessary to ensure public safety.

This incident follows another bear attack earlier this month in Metro Vancouver, where a three-year-old girl was also attacked on her back deck but was saved by a parent and airlifted to a hospital with non-life-altering injuries.
