From a local resident who lives near Five Brooks Ranch in Point Reyes: "Last night after midnight, our dog went outside to pee and immediately encountered what we thought was a bobcat. She came back in with two lacerations on her face so we took her to the emergency pet clinic. After picking her up from getting stitches today, the doctor said it was most likely a mountain lion due to the depth and width of the lacerations.

We are beyond grateful that she was so lucky as it missed both of her eyeballs, and she is alive. Home safe and sound now.

We wanted to share as this was so close to our house - reminding people out here to be safe when they and their pets go out at night time."
