Woman Discovers Yelping Creature Outside Home, Then Looks Closer & Immediately Calls For Help

85-Yr-Old Gwen Maxwell was leaving her home, when she saw what appeared to be a puppy crossing the street. From what she could see, the ‘pup’ wasn’t moving very well, so Maxwell decided to take a closer look.

But as she approached the creature, she couldn’t believe what she was seeing… the animal, whatever it’s identity, was covered in cacti!

Closer inspection revealed the cacti covered creature was no dog at all, but a barely weeks-old coyote pup.

The coyote was totally encumbered by 7 huge clumps of chola cacti that were stuck to his legs, shoulders and face.

Gwen rushed to get a neighbor’s help when the little one finally collapsed in the heat, “He’d get up and tumble around with all those chollas on him, and it was just so heartbreaking,” she said.

The mother was nearby watching Gwen. “She kept coming back and holding a vigil in my backyard.”
