Thursday’s incident comes after a similar attack and dog-snatching incident in Port Moody earlier this week.
In that case, a dog was walking on a leash with its owner at 12:41 am in the Foxwood Drive neighbourhood of Port Moody.
“A cougar was apparently hiding in some nearby bushes, jumped out and attacked the dog, leaving it with severe injuries,” said Port Moody police. “The dog’s owner was shocked and obviously upset but physically unharmed during the incident.”
The dog’s owner was able to get the dog to an emergency veterinary service, “however, their pet did not survive its injuries.”
