Is there a cougar living near a residence on Elm Street, in the area of Pine Tree?
According to an Oct. 6 Oakland County Sheriff’s Department deputy report, a man reported his one-year-old dog was acting ‘funny,? and refused to go outside. The man said he had turned on the outside light, and opened the back door, when he observed a cougar run through his backyard.
The deputies who responded checked the area near the man’s house, and found fresh tracks through the mud. The deputy who wrote the report said he believed they were cougar tracks.
Oakland County Animal Control was called to the scene, and confirmed that the footprints the deputies found were cougar tracks.
