Pumas or cougars are big cats that prowl the woods and mountains. The boy cougars can range between 5-9 feet tail to toe and weigh between 115-160 pounds. In rare cases, males can tip the scales at 260 pounds. Chiquita the Chihuahua did not let the size scare him when his best friend Rosie (a border terrier) was being pinned down by a cougar who wandered into their yard. The two dogs live in a small town in Oregon where their yard backs up to a wooded area. Both dogs were playing when the cat wandered down and decided Rosie looked a tasty morsel . Rosie was about to become lunch! Chiquita went ballistic and saved the life of Rosie by acting like a rottweiler. The cougar turned tail and ran back to the woods. Rosie is fine and Chiquita is my new hero.
