Woman visiting from U.K. injured while protecting her friend's dog from a coyote attack in a Massachusetts backyard.
Jessica Jones and the dog, a mini golden doodle named Roxy, may have encountered a coyote's den in an overgrown area near the backyard of the friend's home in Reading, Massachusetts, before the attack, according to a release from the Reading Police Department.
After the coyote went after the dog, Jones used her arm to shield her and then"punched the coyote in the face" before running off with Roxy, she told ABC Boston affiliate WCVB. Jones sustained deep gashes to her arm, images show. She required six rabies shots in her wounds, she said, describing the treatment as"harsh.""I told my family that Jess was pretty cool and that they’d enjoy having her come stay, but I don’t think any of us could have possibly expected how grateful we would end up being," Jones' friend, Grace Tully, told the local station.
