A Coyote was daringly close to a little girl and her tiny dog as it aggressively chased them down the street. The tiny\u00a0Yorkie, however, was prepared to lay down its life for its owner.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Upon taking a walk with her dog, 10-year-old\u00a0Lily Kwan was suddenly attacked by a Coyote. Her loving\u00a06-year-old Yorkie named Macy\u00a0didn’t hesitate to defend her.<\/p>\n

A video has been\u00a0shared of a young girl being chased by a Coyote in her neighborhood. She and her little dog ran as fast as possible, but it appeared that the wild animal was getting intensively close.<\/p>\n

In the video, one can hear Lily screaming\u00a0and see her\u00a0running with a Yorkie\u00a0on a\u00a0leash as the Coyote hunted\u00a0them. Eventually, she dropped the leash while still running.<\/p>\n

An\u00a0owner jumped into a dangerous river\u00a0to save his pet\u00a0but struggled to keep them both afloat due to the current.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The dog then hastily turned around to face the\u00a0wild canine. Macy\u00a0and the Coyote engaged in a violent altercation as the dog\u00a0seemingly attempted to protect\u00a0the\u00a010-year-old.<\/p>\n

The Yorkie was injured and\u00a0is recovering in an intensive care unit at a veterinarian.\u00a0Speaking about the incident, Lily\u00a0recounted<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“I ran to the sidewalk and started screaming for help and no one heard me. I just saw this Coyote trying to attack my dog.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The young girl\u00a0said she attempted to find help by knocking on people’s doors and\u00a0ringing on doorbells. Luckily, in the end, one neighbor let her into their house.<\/p>\n

The young girl’s mother,\u00a0Dorothy Kwan<\/a>,\u00a0was working when the incident occurred. She expressed how taken aback she was\u00a0by what happened.<\/p>\n

She couldn’t believe\u00a0how a wild animal could just be wandering around their neighborhood during the day. There are now\u00a0signs\u00a0placed around the subdivision warning residents of Coyotes in the area.<\/p>\n

While the occurrence was reported as the little dog saving its young owner’s life, many individuals thought this was false, stating that Macy protected itself. One person\u00a0stated<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“He was not protecting his owner, he was defending himself after owner ran [and] left him to fend for himself.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Others have warned people that they should not blame a young child for surviving, even if this were the case. There is currently a GoFundMe page set up to help pay for Macy’s vet expenses.<\/p>\n
