Brave Dog Fights Off Mountain Lion in California Backyard

A family's dog in La Verne, California, was caught on security cameras fending off a mountain lion attack in their yard, struggling with the predator for 48 seconds before neighbors intervened. The mountain lion returned to the scene 20 minutes later, but the dog, named Holly, survived with a neck gash and is now recovering at home. This incident follows a similar attack on another La Verne dog in 2021, who also made a full recovery after chasing off a mountain lion.
