Ian Orser, a plumber from Grand Forks, BC, was working in a residential neighborhood near Lake Christina on April 9 when he and his 40-year-old daughter, Megan, heard a riot that included screams. “We thought it was a dog race at first. My daughter got down there and just shouted, ‘It’s a cougar!’” She told CBC Radio West presenter Sarah Penton. He said he ran to see Red’s head in a cougar’s mouth. “The only thing I could think of to do was kick him in the head,” said Orshe, 69. “If I had thought about it, I probably would not have run there. But I just had to save our dog.” Some of the injuries that Red suffered during the puma attack. (Ian Orser)
Orser’s kick did the trick and the cougar did it back – but it didn’t go far. Orser says he then shook a stick at the big cat, but still did not run away. He and his daughter then grabbed Redd and the other two dogs with them and got into his truck to go to the vet. Red received medical treatment and Orser said she was doing well now. But he said that if any of his other dogs – both Springer Spaniels – were in this condition, it would have ended much worse. “I think they would be dead because they are much smaller,” he said. Orsay reported the incident to maintenance workers. The BC Conservation Officer confirmed that they had received several reports of cougar in the residential area. The police located the animal and, due to the danger to the public, lowered it.
