Uninvited Visitors
YouTube, 11AliveOn November 3 at around 9 PM, John Wierwille found a pack of coyotes around his home.
Their Target

They Came Back

A Brave Dog
UnsplashJohn counted several coyotes inside the pen and there were several more around the area. He said, “they weren’t responding (to me), they were focused on Casper I think more than anything,” and upon seeing that the coyotes were about to attack the flock, Casper started to charge at them.
He Fought Them
YouTube, 11AliveCasper fought the coyotes for about 30 minutes until they started jumping out of the pen and running off into the woods. Casper didn’t let them get away with what they did and he ran after them.
He Disappeared
UnsplashCasper caught up to the coyotes at the embankment of the creek and that’s when he disappeared. He took down eight coyotes that night, but he went missing for two days.
He Finally Went Home
Facebook, WagwagtailHe came home after two days, looking terrible. John said, “He looked like death, I mean he looked terrible. He came back home and he just kind of looked at me like ‘boss stop looking at how bad I look, just take care of me’.”
Taking Care Of Him
UnsplashJohn got help from the animal welfare organization Lifeline Animal Project. They closed up Casper’s wounds on his neck and back and amputated his tail. He also had to undergo multiple surgeries, but what’s most important now is that he’s safe and alive.
