A giant puma invaded a family’s garden, attacked their dog and held its neck in its jaws for eight minutes.
Residents in Kozino village near Moscow, Russia say the puma was the pet of a local oligarch in a nearby elite housing compound Fryaz, home to many Russian celebrities.
The male cat escaped and terrorised homes in Kozino in the early morning attack.
It spent an hour and a half in local man Alexey Mirankov’s garden before the emergencies services shot the beast with a tranquilliser.
Incredibly, the dog called Zhulya survived its ordeal - as it if the puma was toying with it rather than intending to feast on it.
“I heard my dogs yelping,” he said.
