In The Nick Of Time, Dad Saves Family Dog, Tiki, From Mountain Lion’s Jaws

The bond between a family and its pet is a very special one. Even if words cannot be exchanged, there is an incomparable and unconditional love between a pet and his owner. Need any proof? Check out this bulldog puppy that won't stop showering his owner with kisses, and this overjoyed pup the moment she is reunited with her owner!

So when Kirk Fetter heard his wife scream that the family dog, Tiki, was being attacked, the fast-acting dad jumped to her rescue. In an exhilarating 30 seconds, Kirk saw the poor pup's throat in the jaws of a mountain lion, and ran after the animal without a second thought.

He had heard that there were mountain lions in the area, but didn't understand the threat until he saw his beloved Tiki, a terrier shepherd, as prey. Before reaching the animal, it miraculously released the dog before running off back into the woods.

In a fortunate twist, Tiki survived the attack. She needed six staples, which were quickly administered by a neighbor. But otherwise, Tiki is in good health!

The pup is very special to the family. Kirk's wife, Chanida, says, "She's like my first daughter, I had her, maybe she was like 3 months old. I fed her like my baby."

And should anything serious happen to Tiki, it would be the couple's daughter, Anna, who would take it the hardest.

But luckily, Tiki is in good hands and on her way to a full recovery!
