Dogs are a man's best friend and they do anything and everything in their power to protect the human they love.?An inspiring instance of the same recently took place in Canada, making anyone love dogs even more.?
A little Yorkshire Terrier saved his human, 10-year-old Lily Kwan from a dangerous coyote attack.?
This entire incident took place when Kwan was out with her dog for a morning walk and encountered the coyote at Scarborough in Toronto. The horrifying moment of the scared little girl running away and the small dog Macy trying to distract the animal was caught on a neighbour¡¯s CCTV camera. The girl was seen running into the neighbour¡¯s house to seek help, while the dog was still seen fighting even after being badly injured by the coyote.
Even though the dog was tiny, she fought the coyote with great courage.?
The girl said she had seen some online posts warning people in the neighbourhood about coyotes attacking little children and pets. Scared when she encountered the animal for the first time, her basic instinct was to run away. She said, "I ran to the sidewalk and started screaming for help. No one heard me.¡±
The entire CCTV footage showed the fierce fight between the two animals.? At one point, the coyote had the pet dog in its mouth. Eventually, a neighbour came out and chased the coyote away. But by then the dog was badly injured, bleeding from several wounds.
She had to be taken to the vet for her injuries. Even though she came out in stable condition, the dog had to be transferred to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). With the costs of treatment estimated to be between $4,000 and $6,000, the family set up a GoFundMe page to raise some money. After the video of the dog¡¯s heroics went viral, support started pouring in and although the initial goal was to raise $10,000, the page currently has brought in donations above $26,000.??
The dog was discharged on Friday and reunited with Lily.
This courageous dog should be given a medal for her fighting spirit.?
