The dog was taken to a vet. It's unclear if it will survive.
A woman in Northern California says her dog came to her rescue when she was attacked by a mountain lion Monday afternoon.
The woman had pulled over near a picnic area with her dog, a Belgian Malinois, and gone for a walk down a path when the mountain lion swiped her shoulder, CDFW said in a news release. When the mountain lion tried to drag the dog away, the woman and passerby struck it with a piece of PVC pipe, and it eventually released its grip on the dog."The dog's condition is guarded, and it is unknown if she will survive," CDFW said.
