The family started a GoFundMe page to help raise money for medical expenses.
Padres said he needed around 30 stitches and had injuries all over his body. They then found Rocky bleeding, badly injured and with a head wound so deep “you can see all the way down and it looked like you can see his brain or his skull,” according to Padres. The family was frantic, calling for Rocky in the darkness and then going to look for him, fearing the worst. The dog went all the way up the hillside as the mountain lion disappeared into the night. “We were very terrified that he wouldn’t come back,” Padres said. Padres’ teenage daughters, Verena and Ashley, said they began to panic and were terrified because they didn’t know what was going to happen. That’s when one of the family’s two dogs, a 7-year-old pitbull mix rescue, leaped into action, charging at the big cat and chasing it off the property. Security video captured the moment she started shouting and her family came out to see what was going on. “He was literally right here looking at me and I got freaked out and started screaming,” Padres said. Friday, Mary Padres was in her yard when she spotted a mountain lion staring back at her. Family dog Rocky is recovering Wednesday after fearlessly chasing a mountain lion out of his owners’ La Verne backyard last week.
