A family dog named Lady fought off a mountain lion to protect four children in Colorado.
A family dog died a hero protecting four children from a mountain lion in their backyard.
Havens wanted to run back to help Lady, but it was too dangerous, so she fled to her daughter's second-floor bedroom. There, she opened the window and hurled a pair of pink roller skates at the cat, to distract him from the bloody scuffle with Lady.Officers arrived within five minutes and fired three non-lethal bean bag rifle rounds, two of which hit the lion, forcing it to retreat into the mountains.
Havens scooped up her dog and wrapped her in a towel. The family drove to Evolution Veterinary Specialists, an animal hospital nearby."She had three holes in her skull and the underside of her snout was punctured, which is why she couldn't breathe well," explained Havens."Doctors couldn't guarantee she'd live through the night."The Havens children mourn the loss of their dog Lady.
