Dog fought off a pack of coyotes

In the US, a young dog was able to fight off five coyotes. Part of the confrontation was captured on video.

In the US, a young fearless dog fought off a pack of coyotes for 45 minutes. This was reported by the New York Post.

The incident occurred at night in the suburbs of Brea, California, and was captured on video. CCTV cameras recorded how a pack of predators surrounded a one-year-old homeless Labrador-shepherd mix. The dog showed ingenuity - he pressed his back against the bushes so as not to be surrounded, and managed to fight off five coyotes.

The owners of the house, having viewed the recording, called the animal control service. The dog, who was given the name Duke, was taken to the shelter, where it turned out that he gets along well with other dogs, loves to play in the pool and chase a ball. A few days later, the dog found new owners - he was taken to a loving family. Veterinarians say Duke was lucky - coyotes don't usually get into fights with large dogs, but this time the pack clearly hoped to overwhelm their opponent with numbers.
