(SWAN VALLEY) – A Swan Valley canine is lucky to be alive after being attacked by a Mountain Lion Friday. Owner Lynn Dixon says he was walking his Yorkie, Sammy when the cougar pounced the dog. In what Dixon called a “miracle” he told KIDK that he fought the cat off and Sammy suffered injuries to her head and leg. Fish and Game officials caution that while Dixon’s actions were heroic, people should not try to intervene between a cougar and its prey.
