Mountain lion snatches dog from owners' bedroom

A mountain lion slunk into the master bedroom of an Idledale home early Monday, snatched a yellow Labrador retriever and vanished.
Officers are hunting the mountain lion and have set a trap, said Jennifer Churchill, a spokeswoman for the Colorado Division of Wildlife.
"A lion that will brazenly go into someone's bedroom . . . we need to be careful of," Churchill said.
The dog's body was found near the property.
Churchill said the residents had left open the French doors to their bedroom, apparently to cool the house, and didn't have screens.
There were dogs sleeping in the bedroom when the mountain lion entered between 4 and 4:30 a.m.
Idledale, between Morrison and Evergreen along Bear Creek, "is definitely in lion country," Churchill said. "It's not unheard of for unattended or easy-to-get-to pets to be taken by mountain lions in areas from Boulder to Evergreen." Mountain lions are known to partially eat their kill and then cache it for later meals by covering it with leaves and pine needles, Churchill said.

Man I'd be on the hunt seeking revenge if one snatched my buddy.
Tag in pocket of course.

Don't tell me they are using another dog as bait. That would be just cruel...
