I carry on my property regularly. Bringing a gun to a lion fight is preferred. However, without a gun, a grown male is still a formidable opponent to a wild animal. I have sent black bears packing with nothing more than an aggressive " Hey Bear!". Mountain lion are stealth predators and very weary of injury. Its surprise attack was foiled by the dog. A man joining the fight would have sent the cat running as too opponents are too great a risk of injury. Dialing 911 instead of protecting his dog was the wrong response.
