Footage captures moment cat saves dog from coyote attack

Footage has captured the moment a cat has saved a dog after it was attacked by coyotes.

The dog, Oakley, went outside to do her business when two coyotes went after her, one grabbing her before a cat ran in and scared off the coyotes.

The owner, Lane Dyer, says the cat is a stray that he and his family take care of.

“Her and Oakley hit it off pretty good from the beginning,” Mr Dyer said.

Oakley suffered injures from the attack receiving stitches but has since recovered.

“Is she like a street cat?” “Yeah she’s a gangster” 😂😂😂

Heroic cat, he deserves a lot of love by the dog's owners

That coyote took off when it saw the black cat, cats got a reputation in that hood

A silent guardian, a watchful protector, a dark knight

Nobody can't handle the wrath of a cat. It has a small physique but possesses the courage of a tiger.

Brave cat. Great story. Hope he lets Binks come in side, day and night. He's family now. God bless.

What most people don't get is that animals can detect _confidence._ A "street" cat has much more confidence than a toy dog. This is why occasionally you'll see cats staring down gators in Florida or chasing cattle in the South.

I've always said, cats are fearless and are the best guards of your life, and your other animals.

My cat shares his outdoor food bowl with giant raccoons. No fighting they just nicely shared food haha. I don't feed him outside anymore.

Coyotes didn't know how to deal with a black leopard.

Cats have more courage than dogs, this is a fact

Soon after full recovery, Oakley was seen in a Mosh Pit sporting an all Black Coyote Vest.
The Cat got the job as security manager.

Pound for pound toughest animals around

Note to all animals: you might be able to win the fight against a house cat, wolverine or badger but you're going to be all cut up by these psychos. Just leave them alone 🐈

Don't sleep on Black Cats, and let those old superstitious tales avoid you from adopting Black Cats as pets... they have amazing personalities.

I have 6 cats, 2 of which are barn cats as I live on a farm. Even my 110lb German shepherd is scared of them and he's the security guy around here 😂 but each animal has a different set of tools. Cats are way faster than a dog a fox or whatever so most other animals would rather not mess with them and try an easier meal elsewhere.

Love that they named the cat Binx! Must be fans of Hocus Pocus!

If only we humans could take a lesson from this cat and dog - no matter what the differences, you can live together and watch over each other.

This is why I'm against the whole "cats and dogs are mortal enemies" reputation. They can be bonded like family members with the right influence

Reminds me of A cat we had named Smokey. Our Sheppard was about to get into a fight with another dog when he jumped on the dogs back and sank in his claws. He rode that dog for A good 10 seconds before jumping off and the dog running away. Fun memories.
