GETTY IMAGES AUBREY CARPENTER \| ARIZONA REPUBLIC \| 16 hours ago Arizona Game and Fish The family was treated at an area hospital as a precaution for rabies, according to Mark Hart with the Arizona Game and Fish Department in Tucson. Such attacks are "fairly unusual," he said. Family was camping Sunday's attack involved a family staying at Shannon Campground on Mt. Graham. At about 8 p.m., the 4-year-old girl was playing around the family's tent when her mother heard her scream and found her being attacked by the bobcat. Other families members ran to assist the girl and Attacks are rare Arizona saw one bobcat attack last year and one in 2009, he said. Bobcats do not typically attack unless cornered or provoked, Hart said. Their typical response to humans is to leave, he said. Arizona Game and Fish workers have set traps to capture the bobcat, Hart said. They're asking anyone in the area to avoid Shannon and Snow Flat camps. Anyone who spots an aggressive bobcat in the Mt. Graham area is asked to call 623-236-7201. Breaking news intern Aubrey Carpenter can be reached atAubrey.Carpenter@arizonarepublic.com and can be followed on Twitter, @aubreycarp1.

He had let his dogs out to relieve themselves. The homeowner had a wall surrounding his entire yard. Surveillance cameras showed a large bobcat jump the wall, kill one of the dogs and seriously wound the other one. The cat took the dead dog over the fence. That cat was so fast neither dog had a chance. The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.
