The pet was snatched just steps from the front door of its home before the owner intervened to save the animal.“This was eight steps off of my front porch,” Buchanan said. “It’s not like I was walking my dog off leash and she was way up ahead and the cougar sweep down and got it.
Like this is right off my front door.”“I came down the stairs and said, ‘Oh, did you let Izzy out?’ He said, ‘Yeah,’ and right then I heard a yelp, yelp,” Buchanan said. When she opened the door, she saw the cougar holding the dog in its mouth. “Yeah, I open the door, and the cougar was right there with Izzy in her mouth,” Buchanan said.Buchanan’s husband immediately chased the cougar, which prompted the cat to drop the dog before retreating into a nearby tree.“He got a rock and just hurled it and hit it in the head, and then he ran,” Buchanan said.Buchanan said the small dog would be okay and started acting like herself again. “We have to be with her because she’s got a drainage thing and she’s little and she’s scared still,” Buchanan said. “Izzy won’t get out the door without us by her side at night. I had just thought nighttime would be the danger zone if there was anything creeping around.”Lorri, a neighbor who reported seeing three cougars in the area as recently as Thursday, said the incident has changed how people view their surroundings.Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife officials captured the cougar shortly after the family returned from the hospital. A spokesperson for the agency confirmed the animal was put down on-site.
