Erin was reportedly attacked by a mountain lion that roared and clawed through her clothing. This information was reported by the Sacramento Bee. Erin called out to Eva for assistance because there was no one else in the vicinity, and the devoted dog came running to her rescue.
According to Erin By courageously confronting the mountain lion, Eva was able to "strike that cat extremely hard" and deflect the focus of the enormous cat away from Erin. On the other hand, the mountain lion was superior to the dog and "latched on to her head," giving her a great deal of discomfort due to its aggressive behavior.
