First we had the house cat who treed a bear and now on the same day, a pair of dogs chasing a mountain lion up a tree:
Friday morning Joy Porter watched as her two dogs ran a mountain lion right up a tree in her yard."We have a big pond so we're thinking it may have come here for the water," Porter said.
Porter and her husband, Ken, own a home on Madrone Forest Drive, about a mile and a half up the road from the busy Glenbrook Basin - an area apparently not busy enough to keep the mountain lions away.
"My husband came home and found it (the mountain lion) ... our dogs treed it," Porter said of the unexpected visitor they received. The Porters have two Weimaraners, or "Gray Ghosts."
Known for their smooth gray coat and affectionate temperament, Weimaraners were originally bred for hunting big game. The Porters' dogs certainly seemed to live up to their pedigree Friday, considering the two dogs treed the mountain lion not once but twice.
