Lily and Macy, both 10 years old, were seen exploring their Toronto neighborhood when an unexpected encounter with a coyote occurred. The entire incident was captured on camera, leaving the girls startled and alarmed.
Lily, in a panic, immediately called for help and released Macy’s leash, hoping to seek assistance from a nearby neighbor.
Meanwhile, Macy courageously fought back against the coyote to protect her young companion. Recounting the incident to reporters from News 6, Lily mentioned that she ran towards the pavement and desperately cried out for assistance. Sadly, her pleas went unnoticed. It reminded her of a recent encounter she witnessed, where a coyote tried to attack her own dog. She went door to door and rang doorbells, but only one neighbor opened their door to offer help.
The owner, amazed by her small dog’s bravery, expressed their belief that the dog could protect them from the enormous coyote. The bravery displayed by Macy deeply touched their heart, and they couldn’t appreciate her enough.
Fortunately, Macy managed to save Lily from the coyote, but in doing so, she sustained injuries to her torso and legs, requiring immediate surgery.
Lily’s mother, Dorothy Kwan, initiated a GoFundMe campaign to fund the necessary procedure. Initially aiming to raise $10,000, the campaign quickly surpassed expectations and now stands at $38,500, only $2,000 away from their new goal.
Dorothy, during an interview with News 6, mentioned, “My dog is truly special; she would do anything for our family. It doesn’t surprise me at all that she went above and beyond to protect us in this situation.” Macy is our courageous hero.
Dorothy continues, “I never expected a coyote to appear during the day and especially not with someone screaming and shouting nearby. Despite all the commotion, it relentlessly pursued her and our dog; it was truly vicious.”
While we are all aware of the unwavering loyalty of dogs, this incident serves as a powerful reminder to never take their dedication for granted. Congratulations, Macy, on your heroism!
