Woman Knocks Out Coyote

A New Brunswick, Canada, woman saved her puppy’s life by fighting off a coyote with her bare hands. Marie Simon took her puppy outside early Wednesday morning and noticed the dog kept trying to run back into the house. She said she heard a snarl, turned around and saw a coyote headed towards her. “It was going over me and I just grabbed the fur. Of course, it was going at the puppy. It tried to bite me in the face and I punched it,” Simon said. While grappling with the coyote, she was able to toss her pup out of the way and throw a left hook when the animal tried biting her neck. It connected with the coyote’s jaw and sent it yelping down a path. While patches of Simon’s hair were left in the snow, she only required a tetanus shot and bandages for cut knuckles.
