Dogs are such devoted and affectionate companions. They have extraordinary intuition and are always willing to assist their owners, even if it puts them in danger.
Similar to the courageous dog who fought off a mountain predator and saved her owner’s life.
Erin Wilson of California’s Trinity County is the ecstatic proprietor of Eva, a 2.5-year-old Belgian Malinois. They had just completed a pleasant stroll along the river when the day abruptly turned dangerous.
According to the Sacramento Bee, a mountain cougar attacked Erin while howling and ripping through her jacket. Erin called for help from Eva because no one else was nearby, and the devoted dog rushed to her aid.
Erin describes Eva approached the mountain lion with courage and “hit that creature quite forcefully,” diverting the mountain lion’s attention away from Erin. In contrast, the mountain lion outweighed the dog and “latched onto her head,” causing severe agony.
Erin swiftly returned the favor, fighting the enormous cat with wood and rocks and soliciting the aid of a passing motorist who neutralized the wild animal with pepper spray.
Eva was transported to the hospital, and against all odds, the courageous dog survived. Erin created a GoFundMe page to assist with Eva’s medical expenditures. According to Erin, the prognosis for her hero’s recovery is “optimistic”
“She is severely sedated until we are confident that the pressure in her head has decreased,” the author wrote. She has two cranium fractures, a sinus cavity that has been punctured, and significant edema around her left eye, which impairs her vision.
Eva was able to save her owner’s life despite sustaining severe injuries during the process.
According to California Department of Fish and Wildlife Captain Patrick Foy, it is reasonable to conclude that the dog saved the woman’s life.
Erin stated on GoFundMe, “My dog is my hero, and I owe my existence to her.
Eva, you are a heroine! We appreciate your valor in defending your owner from the mountain lion and saving his life. It is a reminder of how loyal and protective canines can be.
