The Fish and Game authorities said the bear was attracted to her because of the dog. I'll try to find more info on it. Cindy Let us know:) My neighbors in the mountains always had trouble w/ trash and grills while we never saw one near our house. "They said" (you know, people from that neck of the woods w/ experience in "those types of things", in other words, not "us" city slickers, lol), it was because of the dogs and the wolf thing.
