Another Dog Death Tied to Mountain Lion in Sun Valley

A mountain lion snatched a family dog in Sun Valley early Tuesday morning and a neighboring family believes it's the same wild animal that killed their pet boxer earlier this month, CBS2 reports.

The Barsegyan family told CBS 2 that around 2 a.m. they heard their chihuahua wailing outside and saw it being carried away in the mouth of a lion. They leave near Glenoaks Boulevard and Hollywood Way.

Although the next door family, the Thomasians, didn't see the lion kill their pet boxer, they believe the wild animal was responsible for the disappearance of their family dog on Jan 4. The lion was also caught on the family's home surveillance
