A Belgian Malinois.
“At first, I was just like, Wait, what? “
Ca snowflake yep.
A Belgian Malinois.
My sympathies are entirely with the large cat. :P
Those Malinois are quite a dog.
Well, if you are going to have a dog take on a mountain lion...good choice.
Belgian Malinois
My dog and I both like meat for example. And we walk a lot.
Good thing her dog wasn’t a Chihuahua
Wait, what?
With
Oh, shit
Malinois are good breed
A bit saucy but very bright and eager to please
I generally prefer males for security and females for sporting and general company although I’ve owned more males
Male and female dogs are distinct like humans are sex wise in behavior
Good girl
Hiking a mountain trail alone, with no pistol. Millenial chick mentality. Her loyal dog had to pay the price.
The author wrote "..the unthinkable happened." What a freaking idiot. If you hike in California, you EXPECT to encounter mountain lions. It is very "thinkable." The author probably lives in some urban liberal kook land where all you see are squirrels in the parks, pigeons on the eaves, and rats in the garbage cans.
The KTVU reporter says “Experts say throw rocks.”
Best of luck to you bending down to grab rocks. That is exactly when they will pounce on you and break your neck. BAD advice.
I love shepherds.....I’ve always said, if I ever get a dog, I want one that can rip the throat out of a home invader rather than yap at his ankles.....
I went hiking last weekend and for the first time ever on a hike, saw a bear. A Black bear crossed the trail about 20 yards in front of me and my little hiking buddy, my Black Lab. I tried to get my smartphone out and turned on so I could take a pic but the bear was gone before I could.
Of course, I’m not stupid. I’m always armed - and especially when I hike. Had the bear turned toward us instead of running away from us, I’d have pulled out my gun and lit his ass up.

Bravo. Two brave young women.
The best protection dog I ever had was a Rottweiler Catahoula Hound cross. He was bred to hunt wild hogs and bear but made an outstanding 110 pound wicked vicious protection dog. The good thing about him was that he would obey me. He never bit anybody. He always positioned himself between me and other people. If they took a step toward me he raised his hackles, growled, and showed them his pearly whites. He was staying inside with my daughter one night while she was home alone. A man came to the gate and when he asked if that dog would bite if he came through the gate she said yes. He tried to come through the gate anyway. The dog tore through the screen door in a flash and the man barely got the gate closed before he was on it. I came home and the screen door was hanging by one hinge.
Now I have Mountain Feists that are great snake killers but just try to bark people to death.
That is no Malinois.
