MAMA BEAR RIPS GAL TO SHREDS!

But she saves pooch barking at cubs in tree

- 

PLUCKY Pennsylvanian Lee Ann Galante was torn to shreds in her own backyard saving her dog from a massive mama bear with three cubs — and amazingly lived to tell the tale!

Lee Ann, 55, heard her Pomeranian, Smokie, barking furiously outside their Butler Township house the evening of March 5. When she went to check, Lee Ann spotted three black bear cubs in a tree — just before the marauding mama came out of the dark and made a beeline for her!
