What a brave and courageous little dog Macy is! There is nothing more wonderful than the relationship that develops between a child and his or her dog. Macy fought off a dangerous coyote to defend her owner, a small boy.

Every kid needs to grow up with a dog since these animals are not only loving friends, but are also very protective of their owners and are always eager to put themselves in harm’s way when there is a threat.

This was shown by a little but exceptionally courageous dog earlier this week, when she defended her owner’s 10-year-old child from a coyote, despite taking some injuries herself in the process.

There is a possibility that Macy, who is 6 years old, is a mixed-race Yorkie. She lives in Scarborough, Toronto, with her owner, Dorothy Kwan, and the rest of Dorothy’s family.

Recently, Macy went out on a walk with the family’s 10-year-old kid, and things took an abrupt turn for the worst when the girl came face to face with a wild prairie wolf. Macy was terrified for her daughter’s safety.

However, strangely, the lap dog decided to be a hero and fight the coyote in order to defend her master.
