A dog that a California man once saved from being put to sleep saved his master and his wife from a marauding 120 pound mountain lion at Lake Elsinore (California) on Tuesday (5/5/2009).
The incident occurred around 1 p.m. at the Blue Jay Campground in the Santa Ana mountains. A man and his wife were walking "Hoagie", a 5 year old Black Lab mix, with Hoagie leading the way down a trail. The mountain lion appeared without warning and charged at the man. Hoagie intervened and fought a ferocious battle with the mountain lion. Hoagie suffered severe injuries to his stomach and required four hours of surgery to save his life.
"There's no question the dog saved his life," said Orange County sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino.
