A new video is quickly capturing the eyes and ears of the internet today, when a dog is seen desperately digging alongside a man to get her puppies out of a hole as it began to flood with water.
The water, as seen in the video, was quickly rising, and the frantic mother showcased emotion and proved that the bond between a mother and her children is truly special.
Over time, the mother and the unseen mad are able to get enough of the water out of the hole for the mother to climb into the hole and get her babies one by one. One of the babies, unfortunately, was not breathing, and the mother was frantically trying to help. The man in the video laid the dog on the its back and began to pump his heart into action. In a few moments, the dog woke up!

The amazing display for humanity and compassion that everyone and every animal showed in this video has been quickly capturing the internet’s softer side. It’s a truly beautiful moment, albeit one full of panic and unease. We hope that the dogs are doing well and staying dry!
John counted about five or six coyotes inside the pen with Casper and Daisy being the only thing separating them from the sheep.

There were several more coyotes in the area. John tried to find a solution to his problem but there was one thing he noticed.
“I wasn’t really afraid they were going to attack me or anything,” John said. “But they weren’t responding [to me], they were focused on Casper I think more than anything.”
The coyotes jumped out of the pen and ran off, splitting in different directions. Casper wasn’t going to let them get away with what they did and he ran after them.
He caught up to them at the embankment of the creek near their home where he fought with the coyotes.
That’s when Casper disappeared.

John was grateful to Casper because he killed eight coyotes that night, but he was concerned about Casper disappearing more than the coyotes. He needed to find him.
“…We thought we could find him, we thought he must have been killed and so we were looking for him,” John said. “If he wasn’t killed, we figured he was hurt, we knew he was hurt, because we found parts of his tail and blood and other things, so we were worried about him.”

The search continued the next day.
In their search, that’s where they discovered the dead coyotes. Casper is one tough dog!
Unfortunately, they did not find Casper that day, further solidifying the thought that he might also have been killed in the fight.
He showed up in the pen, banged up but alive and checking in on his herd.
“He looked like death, I mean he looked terrible,” John shared. “He came back home and he just kind of looked at me like ‘boss stop looking at how bad I look, just take care of me.'”
