2 cougar attacks on kids up here, in the last week..
First one, a kid in Boston Bar, had been out in the yard, his dog was acting strangely, following him around. All of a sudden the dog leaped over a lawnmower beside him at the cougar who was ready to pounce, kid ran in the house, got his mom to call police (911) her second call, police was very close, got there within a few minutes.
Cougar had dragged dog under a porch and was chewing on the dogs neck. Cop shot & killed the cougar, when they pulled it & the dog out, he coughs and came to, started rubbing his bleeding head in the snow. Dog will survive, has a lot of wounds.. It was a 18 month old white lab, saved the 11 year old kids life.
The other a kid was sledding by his school, and the cat jumped him, he was screaming and his mom heard him, and managed to wrestle the cougar off, the 7th grade boy survived, although he got quite a few stiches,, lucky to say the least.
Cats are behaving a bit funny, those are not the only attacks up here..
