Dogs assist in mountain lion capture/release

There's not much information about the dogs in the article, but the slideshow has photos of them. I think I've seen this breed working in bear control, but I'm not sure.

Those would be karelian bear dogs yes. I know they're used often in these parts for "bear education."

Cougar are pretty cool critters. I've only spotted them doing their thing a couple times at my parent's house. Every other time I've seen them it involved a dog at the base of the tree and a very angry cat sitting at the top. Out there is pretty rural, we tended to let the wild critters just do their thing unless they caused issues.

The Karelians are impressive dogs.

Let's hope this cat DOESN'T come back and goes on to live a long, healthy life . . . away from people.

I slightly did some reasearch on the Karelian's sounded like they would make a great hiking partner, but I dont think personality wise we would get along ha ha

At my place we have Cougars and so much other wildlife, thankfully they leave everyone alone and I hope it stays that way.
