Let’s start the new year with a heart warming story about a boy and his dog, an adopted golden retriever who thwarted off a cougar attack on a the 11 year old boy who is said to be the closest to the dog.

The dog did suffer some minor injuries but appears to be doing well.

But Angel was ready – the young dog leapt at the hungry cougar and “took the whack,” Mr. Forman said. The boy escaped inside his home while the two animals battled for several minutes. “The cougar was latched onto her head, you could hear both the dog and the cougar screaming. Then it went silent.”

Jaycee Dupree, the woman who was kidnapped 18 years ago from a bus stop in California — when she was just 11 years old, had two children with her captor and rapist.

Apparently, in some way, the girls had normal pre-teen/teen interests.

In many ways, this story is eerily similiar to that of Elisabeth Fritzl, the Austrian girl who was locked in a dungeon and continually raped by her father for 20 years. Elizabeth also bore children by her rapist/father.

Her two daughters, fathered by 58-year-old Garrido, attended birthday parties and, like many girls their age, shared a love for the TV show “Hannah Montana.”

The media “made it seem like these little girls were living like wolves or jungle kids in the backyard dungeon. Perhaps that’s it, but they didn’t give that visual to me,” said Cheyvonne Molino, who runs an auto wrecking yard with her husband
