Glad you had Parka to warn you, and so glad you're safe! I am continually amazed at the ability of dogs to sense (whether it be sight, scent, hearing, etc.) when something is amiss in the environment. It's useful, as illustrated by your story, to be very attentive when these wonderful doggies let us know, too! Not to be repetitive, as I said it on FB, too: You would be well - advised to take these kinds of hikes with some sort of a weapon... Just saying...
Yeah, I'd say that's a pretty close call. Hopefully, the cougar was just taking a cat nap but it's definitely highly comforting to know that Parka was aware of the situation. Sounds like he'll make a fine guardian some day, excellent job!
