Another reason why you don't leave your doors wide open.
The fact that the dog weighed roughly 75 pounds the animal still managed to jump a fence with the dog in it's mouth. Whats even more odd is that neither of the two dogs barked when the cat was in the house or even when the animal approached the house. Why it went for one and not the other is another mystery as well as why the dogs didn't even try to defend themselves or their masters.
What is very frightening about this story is that the couple sometimes have their grandchildren over to visit.
Out in the mountains its wonderful, the air is fresh and it's simply beautiful... it's also wild and dangerous. Precautions and common sense must prevail in areas like these.
For this animal this is a pretty bold move. The cause of it will probably never be known as to why this cat brazenly walked into a home and snatched a large dog and ran off with it.Mountain lion that snatched dog killed, door to bedroom left open.

-- a hungry mountain lion that snatched a labrador retriever from a bedroom in the foothills southwest of Denver has been killed. State wildlife managers said the lion entered the bedroom early Monday through a french door the owners left open, probably to cool the house. The door did not have a screen. The owners were asleep in the same room when the cougar crept in at 4:30 a.m. The wife woke up and the big cat grabbed the 12-year-old dog and ran away.
