I hate it for them, but that's nature.

"She said the leash had fallen off while she was trekking up there. She comes on this mountain all the time and she wanted to bring her dog, Lola," Willie said.

Fallen off…..sure..
Mountain goat doesn’t a friendly dog they see a predator that wants to kill them.

truly would be super awful to have happen. and i wouldn't wish it on any dog owner.

but... leashes and such. not sure why people find them so difficult

imagine the insult to injury when a warden slaps a wildlife harassment ticket in your palm after carrying your dead dog down the mountain.

If I ever draw a mountain goat tag, I’m bringing a golden doodle Montana decoy for sure.
