Two small, but brave, dogs manage to fend off a coyote after it bites one of the mutts on the neck at their California home on August 28.

Wally, a 10-year-old Maltese, and Bubba, an 11-month-old terrier mix, were both in the garden of their Orange County home when a coyote attacked.

The coyote is seen approaching Wally before launching a full attack, sinking its teeth into the dog's neck before Bubba rushes over and the pair manage to fend off the wild animal.

Tami, whose security camera caught this footage, told Newsflare: "A coyote snuck into our yard during the afternoon and tried to attack our dogs. The older dog Wally approached the coyote and it grabbed him by the neck.

"This video shows that dog owners need to be extra vigilant and should be very careful about keeping dogs in the yard unattended even for short periods of time. Both dogs are ok! Wally has three small bites on his neck that were treated by our vet."

This happened in the afternoon in our backyard in Orange, County, CA. A coyote snuck into our yard during the afternoon and tried to attack our dogs. The older dog Wally approached the coyote and it grabbed him by the neck. The puppy, Bubba rushes in to save him and together they chased the coyote out of the yard. We captured the footage on our Ring camera. This video shows that dog owners need to be extra vigilant and should be very careful about keeping dogs in the yard unattended even for short periods of time. Both dogs are ok! Wally has three small bites on his neck that were treated by our vet.


Wally is around 10 years old...we aren’t exactly sure because he was a rescue dog. He is a Maltese mix (we think) and around 17 lbs. his full name is Walter White :joy:. Bubba is a terrier mix puppy (age 11 months in the video) and is around 13 lbs. I don’t actually know either breeds for sure because they were both rescue dogs.
