Family Saves Chihuahua From Coyote’s Jaws

First came the desperate barking, then a frightening sight. A coyote chasing a chihuahua through its backyard catches up and chomps down on the poor little pup. The coyote starts to make a getaway with the dog still in its jaws, but homeowners Kerri and Larry Ruiz came to the rescue. They didn’t approach the coyote or shoot it; the only thing they fired off was an airhorn! Thankfully, little Chico the chihuahua escaped. Now Kerri and Larry say they keep airhorns by every door in the house. #news

Chico needs a 50+lb dog friend in that backyard with him.

Her cries for Chico breaks my heart. So glad he was ok.

0:26 OMG her voice is so sweet and adorable. This was so sad yet so happy because Chico lived!

That's one lucky lil dog. Coyotes don't give up a meal easily.

Not gonna lie, I thought poor Chico's neck was snapped. Poor thing.

NEVER LEAVE ANY PET OUTSIDE UNATTENDED!

I had a coyote problem once. I solved it by purchasing Mountain Lion urine (synthetic) I put the Coyotes on the menu and they never came back. I moved in and two months later they were never seen in the neighborhood again. Hunters use synthetic urine to attract but I used reverse technology by distributing the urine on the trees around my home. Wolves eat Coyotes, Mountain Lions eat wolves so Mountain Lion urine scares the heck out of Coyotes.

Luckily that Chico is still fine, it must be thankful to that family.

Yall laughing at "they took Chico" but what kills me is the way the gentleman ran outside like "huh? Where?" All confused and the way he's running lmaooo

I cannot imagine what that must have been like to witness your beloved pup being taken away by a predator. That was amazing that the owner thought to use an air horn, especially during a panic. Awesome!! Much love to Chico!!

We don’t have wild animals that hurt our animals normally, but this is a new self defense tactic for me.
