A German shepherd puppy is missing after it was grabbed by a cougar while being walked in Anmore, B.C., late Thursday, according to police. Early Wednesday, a cougar sprang from the bushes to attack a dog that was out for walk with its owner in Port Moody. It is unknown at this time if the two incidents — which happened approximately 2.5 kilometres apart —are linked to the same animal, the conservation service said. Any sightings of a cougar or other wild animals in residential or urban areas should be reported to the B.C. Conservation Officers Service, but police say 911 should be called if it appears to be an emergency.
