Just weeks ago, Cole's family found the dog limping with a severe leg injury that left bone exposed.
"The wound was like peeled open, you know, and you could see the bone," Bill Phillips said. "Later we found out that his leg was actually broken."
Dr. Ghotra said the extent of the damage was unlike anything he has seen.
After examining Cole and speaking with the family, Dr. Ghotra said a mountain lion is the most likely cause of the injuries.
Neighbors said mountain lion sightings have become more common in this part of El Dorado County. Barbara Dugger said she heard what sounded like a large cat the night Cole was injured.
Bill believes Cole may have caught the animal off guard, which could explain why he survived.
Cole is expected to make a full recovery but will need to wear a brace on his front leg for at least another month, and possibly two, as the bone continues to heal.
