The four-legged angel, the dog's loyal companion, sacrificed his life to protect his owner from a mountain lion

Angel on Four Paws: Dog Takes Bullet for Owner in Mountain Lion Attack
Erin Wilson was enjoying a peaceful hike along the scenic Trinity River with her canine companion, Eva, a valiant 2-year-old Belgian Malinois. Suddenly, their idyllic afternoon took a terrifying turn. A monstrous mountain lion lunged at Wilson, leaving its mark with a searing scratch across her shoulder. But before the attack could escalate further, Eva sprang into action, a furry guardian angel defending her beloved owner

A ferocious fight erupted. Eva, with unwavering courage, faced the predator head-on. But the mountain lion, a cunning hunter, managed to clamp its powerful jaws onto Eva's head, its fangs piercing her skull. The scene turned into a desperate struggle for survival.

Adrenaline surged through Wilson's veins. She raced towards her truck, grabbing a tire iron – her only weapon in this fight for life. Another hiker, drawn in by the commotion, joined the fray. Together, they used the tire iron and rocks as makeshift weapons, relentlessly beating back the mountain lion. Finally, overwhelmed by the assault and a blast of pepper spray, the predator retreated into the brush, leaving behind a wounded hero.

The frantic drive to the veterinarian was a blur. Eva whimpered in pain throughout the journey, according to a shaken Wilson. X-rays revealed the extent of Eva's bravery: two skull fractures and a punctured sinus cavity. The brave pup spent several days under veterinary care, receiving fluids and slowly regaining her strength.

Thankfully, there's a happy ending (for now). A video shows a tender moment – Wilson hand-feeding her heroic dog. Despite the harrowing ordeal, Eva was released from the vet and is now back home, nestled in her familiar dog bed with her favorite toys.

Eva's unwavering loyalty and bravery are a testament to the incredible bond between humans and their canine companions. Wilson is certain that without Eva by her side, the outcome could have been far worse. Eva, you are a true hero, an embodiment of devotion and courage.

Sadly, Eva passed away from her injuries weeks after the attack. Though our hearts ache for her loss, her bravery will forever be etched in our memories. Run free, sweet angel, until you meet your owner again at the Rainbow Bridge.
