Colorado Parks and Wildlife reported two mountain lion attacks on dogs near Estes Park over the past several days that left one dog dead and another injured, Jason Clay, a spokesman for the agency wrote in an email.
A mountain lion tried to snatch a dog from outside a home in the Prospect Mountain area Thursday while the owners were nearby, Clay said. According to the Estes Park Trail Gazette, the dog survived after the owner chased off the mountain lion with a broom.
Another similar attack where the owners were nearby was reported Monday near the Beaver Meadows entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park off Eagle Cliff Road, but the dog did not survive, Clay said.
