Nancy Godineaux lives nearby on Jarrett Avenue and knows Galante.
Godineaux reported seeing a bear enter her property from the woods last fall.
“I was concerned because I’m a city girl, and I have a dog,” Godineaux said. “A game warden official told me to not have a bird feeder, don’t run, don’t make noise. They told me a bear wouldn’t go after a large dog.”
But Godineaux said she remained on edge and has seen a bear in the neighborhood at least 10 times over the past month.
Her neighbor posted Ring doorbell footage of four bears in their driveway on Bellefield Drive on Feb. 12. In the video, the bears are seen rummaging through the neighbor’s trash cans.
Godineaux, originally from Brooklyn, said she called the Pennsylvania Game Commission on Feb. 19 to report a bear sighting on her property.
“I called them because, this time, I was really scared because the bear tracked my dog to my door. You could see the bear tracking my dog’s paw prints in the snow,” Godineaux said. “They told me to stop walking my dog at night and put up a fence.”
