California--where else?
A mountain lion snatched a small dog from a Pescadero bedroom in the early morning hours Monday, after the residents reportedly left their French doors partially open for the dog to go outside, according to the San Mateo County Sheriff's office.
The dog, a 15-pound Portuguese Podengo, was at the foot of a bed near the dog's owner and a child when it woke them up around 3 a.m. by "barking aggressively."
The adult witness told authorities she saw the shadow of an animal come into the room through the French doors, grab the dog from the bed, and walk out. When she grabbed a flashlight, she saw "large wet paw prints" near the bedroom's entrance, and called 911.
When police arrived on scene, they discovered paw prints resembling those of a mountain lion, and notified the Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Now, the San Mateo authorities are advising and reminding local residents to secure their doors and windows before sleeping, and to heed the advice posted on the department's website about avoiding mountain lion interactions.

I figured this would be a story about Ingwe's love life.

no word on the doggie? 
if a man speaks, and there isn't a woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

I suppose thinking the OP meant "Cougar in the Bedroom" wasn't realistic.

Sounds like there may have been a M Lion and a cougar in the bedroom.
