We all know Belgian Malionis canines as brave, highly intelligent, and loyal, but even such brilliant dogs never cease to amaze us!
Eva, the two-year-old Belgian girl, shows us a whole new level of loyalty with her amazing reaction to a mountain lion attacking her owner on a hike.
Eva’s fearless actions underscored the remarkable bond between humans and dogs, showcasing the unparalleled companionship and loyalty these animals bring into our lives.
Check out her story!
Eva Jumped To Save Erin Without Hesitation
While hiking with her dog, Erin Wilson in California encountered a mountain lion, a scenario she never imagined.
The wild beast jumped in front of her, scratching her shoulder. She instinctively screamed in shock, and that’s when her loyal Belgian Malinois girl, Eva, stepped in!
Eva displayed remarkable courage by confronting the mountain lion, despite its formidable size. As the two struggled, Erin swiftly retrieved a tire iron to assist Eva. She valiantly struck the predator with it, although the situation appeared bleak.
The cat latched onto Eva’s head and punctured her skull with long, sharp teeth. Fortunately, a couple of passing motorists came to the rescue and fought off the lion with pepper spray.
Severe Wounds On Her Skull
Eva was severely injured and her blood was everywhere. She convulsed during the drive to the hospital due to skull fractures and a punctured sinus cavity. This brave dog was seriously injured during the fight and her life was in danger.
Eva was admitted to the Redding hospital in Northern California. Despite being a strong dog, she required a long recovery. Erin initiated a fundraiser to cover her medical expenses.
Eva was heavily sedated for several days as the pressure in her skull was still high and the swelling around her eyes impeded her vision.
The Brave Girl Passed Away, But Her Memory Still Lives On
For some time after the medical treatment, Eva felt better. She came home and started performing her normal activities. She even went for regular walks with Erin, not displaying any sign of weakness.
But then, the one thing that Erin was afraid of happened! Overnight, Eva had sudden seizures and her condition deteriorated.
She fell into a deep coma and had no response to any stimuli. Sadly, her body was too weak to fight this battle, and just a couple of hours later, Eva passed away.
