Mid-November saw the collision of Colorado residents Sarah Moore and Lindsey Golden.
Their pets, a 15-year-old chihuahua named Mijo and a dachshund named Winston, reportedly ran outside for a stroll when a mountain lion suddenly charged at them, according to Fox 5 News. An elderly dog was taken by the predator, who believed it to be simple prey. However, she was still unsure of the person she would be dealing with. With a loud yelp, short-legged Winston charged the mountain lion to scare it away from his friend. The cat threw the chiweenie and fled as he charged at her. “Winston is Mijo’s best friend. And I’m not surprised that Winston helped him when he yelled, either,” Sarah stated about the incident.
According to the owner, a small dachshund’s heart is enormous and gentle. This is a true friend that is always eager to help out those who are in need. After the attack, the dogs were taken to a veterinarian clinic. Mijo was seriously hurt, but Winston was unharmed. His right eye had to be amputated because it could not be saved. The dog also experienced a stroke in the middle of the night.
Doctors think the dog’s nerve may have been injured by the mountain lion’s razor-sharp teeth, necessitating a time-consuming and expensive treatment.

Due to their lack of planning, Sarah and Lindsey turned to the GoFundMe crowdsourcing website for support. So far, they’ve been able to raise about $13,000. They intend to treat and rehabilitate the animal with the entire sum of money.
