A courageous Labrador retriever fights a mountain lion to save 2 kids and to keep the family safe… However…

According to KSLTV News, a Labrador dog fought off a mountain lion on July 19 near Cedar Hills, Utah, to save its family. The dog survived horrible injuries but made it through the day.

Yellow Lab Ella, age 7, watched the mountain lion as Crystal Michaelis’ children played in the backyard. Michaelis didn’t see the mountain lion, but she did notice Ella behaving strangely and dividing her focus between the kids and the mountain lion’s hiding area.

She kept staring in the direction of the children before swiftly looking away, Michaelis remarked. Despite the fact that she was merely being cautious, my child found it to be extremely worrisome.

After some delay, Michaelis took her kids inside. As they approached the patio door, Ella’s head, face, legs, tongue, and neck had all suffered significant cuts. When we opened the back door, Ella was covered in blood. “There was blood all over the entrance and the patio,” Michaelis remarked.

Mountain lion footprints leading to the location were found by Utah Division of Wildlife Resources authorities, despite the fact that the family was not present for the battle. Wildlife authorities believe that the mountain lion may have wandered too close to the Michaelis’ home after getting distracted by some nearby goats in a neighbor’s yard.

She kept staring in the direction of the children before swiftly looking away, Michaelis remarked. Despite the fact that she was merely being cautious, my child found it to be extremely worrisome.

After defending her family from a mountain lion in Cedar Hills, Ella, a 7-year-old lab, sustained injuries on her head, neck, legs, and tongue. She also has more than 30 bite marks on her body.

Even though the mountain lion has not been seen recently, the Utah DWR has warned residents to be cautious and safe. Considering that deer are cougars’ primary source of food, Faith Jolley, a DWR public relations officer, claims that cougars frequently follow deer wherever they go. Deer have been seen passing through this area, she added.

Ella was bit more than 30 times in total, always beginning at the shoulders. Which suggests she never gave up and continued to stand guard over it, Michaelis told the press. Ella is expected to recover well despite her injuries.
