Strange & Unusual - Mountain Lion Attacks Dog in Colorado

Laura Jirsa of Evergreen, Colorado watched the mountain lion pounce on her dog, Lady, and drag her into the woods.

Why do these people continue to hike and walk that far out on these trails ??? Can you say stupid?! I'm so glad your dog lived , now walk your dog in a normal neighborhood..

[Travelincat]

No, they'll hunt down the mountain lion and maybe kill two or three in the process.

Need some of these cats in my neighborhood to cut down on that all night barking at nothing but the moon .

Hi Lady, I hope yo make a speedy recovery and I don't think I will be visitig Colorado any time soon after reading about your encounter...I think I will stay put here in New Zealand, all I have to worry about here is wild pigs ...Get Well soon
Luv and hugs Buddy.

Why are some of you ppl so rude ? How would you feel if it was your dog ?

[Evergreen Girl]

Madd in FL - obviously you've never been to the mountains of Colorado. "Normal neighborhood"? There is not such thing here. Maybe you shouldn't respond to things you don't understand.

[Buddy a NZ Blue Healer]

I don't think it is a matter of never have been to Colorado I think it is about having a bit of compassion for the dog and what the dog has been through. Blue Healers are not well known for being very aggressive, they are very passive dogs and for Lady to have survived a mountain lion attack is an amazing fete in itself...
The dogs owner must have been mortified with guilt to witess what happened, does she really eed to have salt rubbed into open wounds ?

[Buddy a NZ Blue Healer]

Maybe Madd in FL could define the word ' normal ' for those of us deemed stupid ?

What was truly amazing is that the owner let her two kids play outside in the area that same afternoon after the attack happened. And since "Lady" wandered back home after being buried by the cat there is a wounded animal trail leading right to her house...bet the coyotes, foxes, and the mountain lion appriciate that.

[RedDog]

Heelers are known to be good guard dogs. They protect their owners from strangers and dangers, so I'm not surprised Lady put herself between the moutain lion and her owner.
It's just too bad that her owner didn't go after her more quickly.
