A quiet Friday evening in the Hollywood Hills turned into tragedy for 9-year-old Piper, a blue merle/Chihuahua mix, as she strolled — leashed — behind her dog walker, only to be snatched and mauled to death by a mountain lion.
Video from early Friday evening in a residential area near the Hollywood Reservoir — near Creston and Durand drives — shows a large, collared cougar emerging from the brush, creeping along the road and then crouching as he sees the small walking party.
Seconds later, the recording shows the mountain lion pounce from behind and wrest Piper backward.
“I felt the tug and I heard Piper squeal,” the man who was walking the dog told KTLA-TV.
