Casper, a Great Pyrenees, who is only 20 months old, is a lucky dog. He, along with another dog, Daisy, oversees protecting a herd of sheep.
Early in November a group of coyotes must have thought they could handle Casper; there were 11 of them after all. Normally most predators will run away when a livestock guardian dog barks at them but not these coyotes. However, Casper said "Not on my watch!" And so, his battle began.
Eight coyotes lost their lives that day. Casper had some incredible injuries. It was a couple of days before his owner was able to find him, he was sure the coyotes had killed him, but this is one dog whose days were not up yet.
Have you ever heard of LifeLine Animal Project? It's a nonprofit, based out of Atlanta, with a mission to end Shelter euthanasia of healthy and treatable animals. Casper's owner praises them for saving his dogs life.
I was surprised to hear that they are using Manuka honey to heal Casper's injuries. The benefits of Manuka honey are amazing for healing and veterianarians have found it to be a great alternative treatment for pets. Casper's injuries were long and wide and deep, and he also lost his tail.
What an amazing story!
