A 10-year-old girl was suddenly attacked while walking her dog in the neighborhood.
According to foreign media such as Canada City News on the 22nd local time, 10-year-old Lily of Scarborough, Toronto, was walking with her dog, 'Macy', a Yorkshire Terrier, when she felt a strange sensation behind her.
Lilly looked back involuntarily and noticed a wild animal running at full speed from a distance.
It was a coyote, a nocturnal carnivore that inhabits the whole of North America.
Coyotes, also known as 'grazing lilies', feed on small animals such as rabbits, and are known to run as fast as 64 km/h.
Lilly encountered a coyote in the middle of a residential area in broad daylight and ran away screaming in terror.
However, Macy, the small dog, could not keep up with Lily's speed and fell behind, and Lily lost the leash she was holding.
The coyote then stopped chasing Lily and started attacking Macy.
Macy, who tried to run away with Lily, changed her mind and turned back to face the coyote's attack.
After being bitten several times by a coyote more than three times his size, Macy did not back down and barked fiercely.
In the end, the coyote succumbed to the momentum and fled.
Meanwhile, Lily kept screaming "Help", but there was no one on the street.
Lily recklessly knocked on the door of the neighbor's house and explained the situation to the owner, and when the owner found the seriously injured puppy, he was surprised and let them into the house.
Macy was bitten about 10 times in the back and needed emergency surgery.
Lily's mother, Dorothy Kwan, said, "I adopted Macy, an abandoned dog five years ago. I am thrilled and heartbroken that Macy has saved my daughter."
Wildlife experts said, "It is known that coyotes rarely attack humans, but the recent increase in contact with humans has resulted in many changes in the behavior of coyotes. do," he warned.
This is a 'news pick'.
