A more mature Giant Schnauzer wouldn't likely have shown his/her back to the mountain lion, and might have gotten in a good bite or two.

Their home is just south of Angeles National Forrest, so there's lots of critters out there. Those animals don't abide by gated community fences either. Also, that woman is an idiot, and the dog would have been dead without the man's quick reaction to the situation.

What would the possum cops and LEO’s think about a dead cat with a few buckshot holes?
HOA may not like that, either.
Think I’d blast first ask later.

Dog is lucky to have survived that. Nothing walking this earth wants to have to combat a cat of its own size.

If that happened to my Beagle, it would be a dead cat. SSS.

I am not particularly fond of cats, especially larger ones. Cat should have been deflated and disposed of.

At least the guy said he went for his gun. He had the right intention. Should have blasted it when it came back but he'd probably be sent to the penitentiary for years in California.

Those smiley-faced owners had no idea how close their dog was to being killed.
The cat has already shown that he will be back.

I get the idea that maybe that cat hadn’t had to kill for living and as a result lost his edge. A truly wild cat
Killing for a living would have killed that dog in a heart beat. They routinely take down 800 lb elk and on occasion will kill a moose, a moose is formable opponent for any critter.

DF I caught some coyotes trying to lure my dog out in our neighborhood. Our hoa doesn't allow gunfire in the neighborhood. I shot one of the coyotes anyways. The guy in charge of our hot was upset that I didn't get the other two. That was before California's took over our neighborhood though. Bb
