Retriever saves 11-year-old boy from cougar attack in Boston Bar

Angel leapt a full 1.5 metres above the ground, sailed over a lawn mower and intercepted a cougar mid-air, just as it was about to pounce on 11-year-old Austin Forman.

The cougar got Angel, a golden retriever, around the neck and the two animals fell to the ground, the cougar

Awww - what a nice story. I like happy endings!
It's amazing to me how resiliant animals can be after being attacked like that, and how dogs can be so protective and loyal to people!

OT joke I heard the other day about the difference between women and dogs:

Lock your wife and your dog in the trunk of your car, and just see which one is happy to see you when you open it! :mrgreen:

My first thought when I read that title was, "Who takes an 11 year old into a bar?".

Then I read the story, and I gotta admit, it was awesome. Way to go on the dog and the cop! :2thumbs: :nod:
