A woman is in the hospital after sustaining injuries from a bear attack near her home in Washington state.
The Chelan County woman let her dog out Saturday morning when she was charged by an adult female black bear, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) officers reported after they received the call around 7 a.m. in Leavenworth.
Her injuries were not life-threatening and she's currently recovering at a Wenatchee hospital, officials said.
While fighting the bear off, the woman eventually hit the animal in the face, which sent it running back into the woods.

In the posted story though, I'm betting this woman unwittingly got between Mama Bear and Baby Bear.
