A dog walker believes his pet may have been attacked by a puma dubbed the Beast of Buckinghamshire.
Because it's dead..?
The latest incident happened after Daisy disappeared for a short while in some undergrowth.
Mr Romero, from from High Wycombe said he then heard her yelping and making high pitched noises, which made him think something wasn’t quite right, so he called her and she came out limping.
He said: “I saw two wounds, two gashes about an inch-and-a-half and an inch wide, and about three inches long.”
He took her to the vet straightaway to be treated.
We aren't told what his vet thinks. But we do get the opinion of another vet.
Adam Maxton, a vet at Temple End Surgery, said: “It is highly unlikely that a panther has caused that. It is more likely to be a deer with antlers.”
Looking at the wounds, yes. That, or Freddy Kruger.
Are you sure that Michael Heseltine was stalking the woods looking for dogs?
ReplyDeleteOut walking I heard hoof beats: mm, i thought, zebras.
ReplyDeleteAlways apply Occam's razor in these circumstances. Or perhaps William Occam is lurking in the bush with his razor?
ReplyDeleteBadger bite, no doubt about it.
ReplyDeleteJaws go in low, teeth engage muscle and the badgers' powerful shoulders come into play. Once it's got a firm grip, the badger snaps its head upwards, tearing a large chunk from either its victim or attacker.
Have a look at these gnashers:-

If badgers grew larger, there'd be a new 'pitbull' on the block!
