The peace and quietness of an early Sunday morning was rudely interrupted when a couple witnessed a coyote attacking a small, black and white Jack Russell Terrier that had been left outside, unsupervised. The wild animal looked at the pet as an easy meal and tore into its back, ripping the flesh, exposing muscles. Most likely it would have succeeded in killing the dog, had it not been for the couple's interference. They chased the coyote away and tended to the Jack Russell, but fast realized that he needed medical attention. So they brought him to a local pet store, seeking help. One of the employees drove the suffering dog to an Emergency Animal Hospital. A quick call was made to Almost Home to see if we would help this poor, injured dog. The answer of course was yes; this brave canine that beat the odds of surviving a coyote attack deserved a chance to live and his new name was going to be Little Champ. The small dog underwent surgery to fix the torn muscles and skin. The operation was successful and once it was established that he was well enough to leave the hospital, he got to go to a foster home where he gets all the post-op care he needs. Little Champ has a long recovery ahead of him, but he has the spirit of a fighter and, once healed, will look forward to finding his new, forever home.
