Story seems kind of
 details as posted.
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.

Leaving your door open anywhere after dark is generally a bad idea. Any wild animal that will enter a human's house take a 15-pound dog would take your Thanksgiving turkey, or your 18-month old kid.

Dog owner fail. Dog did his part, alerting them to the threat. They betrayed his trust; dog should have gone silent, and let the lion take the homeowner.
That's a ballsy mountain lion. If the state wildlife types don't track it down and take it down, there's gonna be a news story pretty soon about someone's kid being taken out of their bedroom window. |

Poor dog, his owners failed him.
 
I would be throwing anything I could at the cat until I got my hands on my gun, then kitty turns dead. |

Pescadero is a nice little town south of San Francisco. Plenty of redwood trees in that area. I used to go camping around there a lot. Minimally she should have a 10 mm but ideally a 12 GA with 00 buck or a 45-70.

The probability that you could engage the cat before it was out the door is low. Cats are faster than rattlesnakes. |

I bet the husband was happy.  I don't care as only an idiot does not sleep with guns. Only a total fool would not have smoked that cat. Only a dumb ass would live where they could not take such actions. I've got nothing for any of them. . |

In San Mateo? You would be better off throwing the cat a child than using a gun against it. Guns are icky, in CA.

So they left the door open for the dog to go out, but the cat came in for the dog. Nice.
They are lucky the car took the dog and not the sleeping kid, not sure how large the kid was though. It's cali so the kid could have been 15 and 170lb's. I was going to make a joke about keeping a sacrificial yappy dog around to protect yourself from big cats, but that would not the fair to the dag. His owners were just too lazy to get up to let the dog out. If I was the dog I would have hid under the bed and let them sort it out after alerting the people. RIP brave yappy dawg. |

Every now and then there will be one that is ill (physically or mentally) that will hunt/attack humans anyway. However, if you kill'em off in your area then the sick ones won't be there in the first place. I'll never understand people (are they really thinking human beings??) who believe that animals have rights equal to, or greater than, humans. |
