From those "When Animals Attack" shows, they do explain that a moutain lion will attck and attempt to carry off their prey.
That means if your dog, or even you child were attacked, if you can't interrupt the attack, you may never discover the results until much later on.
Most people think of wild animal attacks as those "staged" confrontations they show on TV. In the wild the attacks are quick and more often than not, they are DEADLY. The predator will stalk their intended prey until they feel the time is right.
That's usually about the time you let your dog off its leash, or your kid(s) decide to run up ahead of you.
Imagine a cat playing with a mouse. Now imagine that the cat weighs 90-120 lbs. and the mouse weighs 30-50 lbs.

They are magnificent animals, but they are also very dangerous.
I hope that we don't have any encounters before the animal is identified and captured (if neccessary).
