'Then this creature appeared in front of us:' Cougar spotted in Terwillegar Park

Barb Hepperle was about to let her four-year-old border collie spaniel Koko off his leash to frolic in the dog park when he started acting up.
The pair had been pounding the trails like they do every morning at around the same time in Terwilligar dog park, that vast expanse of land nestled in the armpit of the North Saskatchewan River in the city’s southwest.
As they wandered the trails Oct. 12, Koko started getting restless, then a little nervous.
And then he started barking.
