PINAL COUNTY, Ariz. — The Arizona Game and Fish Department said a San Manuel, Ariz., homeowner found something unexpected when they got home from work on Monday.
Instead of finding their dog in the dog bed, they found a bobcat.
The agency said that it was believed that the bobcat got into the house through an unlocked pet door, according to KSAZ.
