My neighbor let his 14 year old Beagle out at 11 pm to take a leak before bedtime. There was a mama bear and two cubs at the bird feeder. The Beagle attacked Mrs. Bear. The last he saw the dog, it was being carried off the mountain in the jaws of Mrs. Bear.

The next day we looked long and hard for the dog but it was no use. Six days later, the dog showed up at his front door. He had 2 puncture marks on his belly.
He had to have surgery for $1,600, and then the dog was OK.
There is always hope for a lost doggie.
