Alberta man punches cougar in head to save pet dog during attack near Tim Hortons
City News ^ | December 28, 2016 | Canadian Press

An Alberta man says he fought off a cougar that was attacking his dog by punching the big cat in the head.

William Gibb says he stopped at a Tim Hortons in Whitecourt, northwest of Edmonton, on Boxing Day.

He let his two dogs out for a bathroom break near a wooded area, then heard one of them crying in pain.

Gibb says he ran to see what was wrong and found the cougar on top of his husky, Sasha, so he bashed it with his fist.

The cougar jumped off and Gibb took the dog to a veterinarian, who stitched up her cuts and puncture wounds.

RCMP say they found the cougar in the trees near the restaurant and, because it was ready to pounce on officers, they shot and killed the animal.

Madonna likes to think of herself as a “Cougar”.
I don’t see her attacking anybody’s dog though.
At least not that kind of dog.

Even a cougar needs a Timmy's “double double” once in a while.

The key was not acting like prey.

Actually if it had been one of those big-a$$ moose I saw standing alongside of the Trans Canada Highway a few years ago *that* might have made it a *bit* more Canadian.

This is what Trump meant, his comment was taken way out of context.

Or this story from 10 years ago, of kanawa, a Canadian Freeper, killing a bear with a knife.
