Michelle Bese of Salida, Colorado was sitting at the table with her five-year-old while her other child slept in another room. One her five dogs came in through the dog door and was followed by a cougar! Bese grabbed her son and hid in the bedroom where the two-year-old was and called 911. Sheriff’s deputies helped the family escape through a window.
“I looked in a bedroom window and could see a dog which I believed to be dead,” said Division of Wildlife area manager Jim Aragon. “The lion was in the same room, so I pounded on the window and side of the house in an attempt to get the lion to leave through one of the open doors.”
Eventually, Aragon and wildlife officer Kim Woodruff, along with Chaffee County Sherriff’s deputy Rod Lane, entered the home through the back bedroom window. They found the cougar in a room directly across the hall.
“We cracked the door open wide enough to see the lion and were able to shoot it with a tranquilizer dart,” Aragon said.
One dog died from injuries and two dogs lost one eye each. The cougar, believed to be starving, was euthanized. Link -via Arbroath
Don’t mess with Chiquita the Chihuahua! The tiny 10-lb dog took on a 100-lb wild cougar who wanted to eat its companion for dinner … and won!
It was 10:30 p.m. and out went Chiquita through the doggie door to investigate as Lindsay opened the blinds. "I rush to the blinds and I flick on the light and I’m trying to see." Pinning poor Rosie to the ground was a 5-foot-long, 100-pound cougar. Rosie was about to become a cougar snack. [...]
As the cougar let out it’s best guttural growl and Lindsay grabbed the phone for help, little Chiquita went to work. With all 1’3" flexed for battle, her 10 pound frame let out it’s best attack dog imitation. Believe it or not, the cougar let little Rosie go.
