Video footage from Erie, Colorado, of a couple fighting off a coyote that was attacking their dog, has emerged online. Their dog was in the backyard when it happened, and the coyote came out of nowhere and started chasing after their pup immediately.
By this point, the Coyote had the dog in its mouth and was running away with it.
The woman immediately noticed and rushed down, screaming “No, No”
Her husband immediately followed with a glass in his hand
The man ran after the Coyote and threw the glass on the coyote, which exploded right by his side, causing him to let go of the dog, who started running as fast as possible and went behind his owner.
The man then proceeded to stand between the dog and the coyote, who hadn’t given up by this point and was still trying to go around the man to get the dog.
The dog was not injured and was able to get back to the house without any injuries.
This is the second attack on the couple’s dogs, but the first attack went very differently. The first time the Coyote attacked their German Shepherd who was a well-trained, retired police dog. Of course, this was not a fight the Coyote was ready for.
In the video, you can see the dog noticing the Coyote before it reaches an attacking distance and the dog immediately flipped the table, attacking the Coyote and chasing it off the property, refusing to abandon the chase until the Coyote ran away.
