Couple Finds Pet Tiger Roaming Texas Neighborhood

A young Texas couple was confronted by a pet tiger wandering in their residential neighborhood in a South Texas city. Jonathan Gessner, 19, and his girlfriend, Erin Poole, found the tiger as they were taking a walk. Gessner said the big cat was crouching in a menacing way. “She runs up to me, jumped on me and put her paws on my shoulders and just starts licking my face like a dog,” Gessner said. “I thought it was pretty cool.”
