Hero dog Angel who saved B.C. boy from cougar is treated by Vet for bite wounds

On Jan. 2, 2009, an 11-year-old collecting firewood was about to be charged by a cougar. His dog, Angel, immediately engaged the cougar in a ferocious fight. Police said Angel saved the boy's life. A police officer shot the cougar four times and killed the cat.

Steaks for life is a good idea.

Hero dog. No?

[SoldierCyfix]

it is considerably heroic. i mean seriously i can't name a single person i know who would fight a cougar [without using a weapon] to save a child they don't even know.

i need better friends.....

poor dog was shaking

They sat in the house for 20 minutes while the dog and cougar fought.. That is just retarded.. If it was my dog who had just saved my life I'd grab a baseball bat a knife, a wrench or something and go out and help my dog kill that fucking thing. Give me a knife and I'll go toe to toe with a cougar I'll stab it in the fucking head.

and if I lived in a rural area like that i'd always have a hunting knife on me.

@trcgamer94 True, and it is sad to say that some animals are more loyal than humans

[ActaNonVerba71]

Steaks and belly rubs all around.

[trcgamer94]

Dogs are loyal, but cats can be too. However, dogs were born loyal, and cats need to be treated with love to return us their love. Anyway, goes to show that animals are not just dumb and heartless creatures like some idiot humans think they are! If you just look at all the pets who saved their owners or even everyday people, you will see just how smart and kind they truly are. Humans who think animals are stupid are the real dumb and heartless ones!
