Cougar killed after attacking dog, biting person in Pend Oreille County

Sorry about your dog. Thank you for doing what you do

It wasn't located too quickly... We got called the next day and had to trail an 18hr old track in 90° weather.  He was an old mean Tom and would not tree.  By the time my hunting partner could get there he had killed my Nosey dog at the bay up.  That cat was bad news, he would have caused more problems if we hadn't killed him.  Probably 12+ years old and skinny

Wow that sucks!

I would be devastated loosing my dog.
Thank you for taking that cat out. you saved a ton of dear and probably a few pets as well.

That cat certainly had to go, terrible you had to lose your dog. I am sure the community is real happy that thing is gone, who knows how bad it could have gotten if it wasn't removed.

Thanks guys.  There is some comfort that she died on a hunt.  She has been a great hound and had some close calls over her career, including one that was almost certain death and led to me getting attacked. 

That cat definitely had to go.

Wow, the things you never hear about! As stated thank you for what you and your dogs do, it is their life to do those things like all hunting dogs bread for that. Being on a hunt makes it a little better, beats hit by a car or cancer or....but still tough on you I am sure, the hours and money put in are painful but the relationship is the tough part.  Way to serve the community!!

That dog deserves a procession all the way to Heaven!
