But then, an unlikely hero stepped up to save the day: Binx darted towards the coyotes, scaring them off from their attack and causing them to retreat.

Watch the unbelievable moment here:

Oakley was left in bad shape from the ordeal, and was reportedly “gushing blood” from her chest and side.

The Dyers rushed her to the nearby hospital; while vets initially thought they might have to amputate the dog’s leg, but thankfully the limb was saved.

With Oakley on her way to a full recovery, the owners looked at the security tape and discovered their cat’s life-saving heroism. Lane Dyer called the rescue “the craziest thing ever” and was proud of Binx for saving her doggy sibling.

“I was kind of inspired by it, quite frankly,” he told KFOR. “It was inspiring to see just our little outdoor cat just jump at two coyotes that were attacking this little dog who she loves and run them off.”

We’re so glad Oakley is safe and alive, all thanks to his heroic cat sibling Binx! Thank you for taking on these wild coyotes and saving the day!
