The story of the cougar attack

Terry F. and his dog Percy, a female 6-month-old Belgium malinois were walking on the Leiner River trail to the estuary last Monday. "I was walking and when I turned around and looked at her, her head was in a cougar's mouth." The cougar was fifteen feet up a tree when Terry picked up an old piece of log and started hitting the cougar. The puppy fell out of the cougar's mouth and down the river bank. Terry rushed back to town and Brian came back with him with bear spray and a Bowie knife and by that time the puppy was in the water. They rescued her, brought her home, gave her a bath. The conservation officer came and told Terry he had to go to the vet because these bites are usually fatal because of all the infection. Derrick Kasper agreed to take the dog to his vet. The dog underwent surgery and is now back home in Tahsis. Terry was very worried how he would pay but the vet said a group of Tahsis people had got together and already paid the bill. Terry has no idea who they are.
