Woman Saved A Poor Creature Covered In Cactus


An animal was turned into pin-cushioned by a cactus while trying to cross the street.

An 85-year-old woman, Gwen Maxwell was going to go outside and as soon as she opened her door, she noticed some weird creature on her lawn. The little creature was covered with cactus spikes as it was clumsily trying to cross the street.

Apparently, the weird creature appeared to be an injured puppy. So Maxwell came closer to the creature to see what was wrong with it. Maxwell confirmed that it was a little dog, but she was shocked with the condition of the animal. Its face, shoulders and face were covered with cacti.

The cacti spikes were stuck into its body, and it was obvious that the little creature was in a lot of pain. When Maxwell looked in between big chunks of cholla cacti, she realized it was not a puppy, but it was a baby coyote.



After that, the poor animal collapsed to the ground, so Maxwell ran to her nearest neighbourhood to get help.

Maxwell said, “He’d get up and tumble around with all those chollas on him, and it was just so heartbreaking.”

Luckily, she quickly spotted two men from a nearby golf course who came to the coyote’s aid.

With the help of heavy leather gloves and a pair of pliers, Bordine and Soto were able to remove the pieces of cactus from the coyote.



Surprisingly enough, the coyote stayed calm throughout the whole rescue operation.

The little guy was freed, and although he had got bloody and bruised from the cacti, he immediately ran off to where his mother was.

Then, the mother and the baby disappeared in the bushes.

Thank goodness Gwen Maxwell and the two kindhearted men were nearby to make sure the adorable little coyote was safe and sound!
