Retriever Saves Boy from Cougar Attack in Boston Bar

The real story—far more tragic—concerns a boy in the Boston Bar town of British Columbia, who was saved from an actual puma attack by his Lassie-like dog. The tale appeared on several morning news programs yesterday, but the headline from the Vancouver Sun provides a new perspective. Perhaps this Canadian town could solve its cougar trouble with apple martini traps?
