As a dog owner, you always worry about cars and your over-zealous pooch thinking he can catch them, but have you ever heard a concern like this one?
A Massachusetts man had to run down a coyote to help save his family’s dog from a potentially deadly attack last week.
Early Saturday morning, Cally, a small dog who has been a member of the family for years, was outside in her backyard when a coyote jumped out and grabbed her. It wrapped its teeth around her neck and left open wounds along her skin.
The coyote then ran away with Cally STILL IN ITS MOUTH.
Ryan Labbe says his father then chased down the coyote and saved his pet’s life.
“It attacked her first in the abdomen,” Ryan said. “But she managed to get away somehow. Then it attacked her again and went right for her neck, picked her up and ran down the street with her. My dad chased it down.”
The coyote was tackled and dropped the wounded dog, which then ran home. Experts say coyotes raising young can be even more dangerous because they are protective, and looking for more food.
Take a look at the astonishing video below and don’t forget to SHARE this unbelievable oddity with fellow pet owners!
