Woman Saves ‘Puppy’ Dog Covered In Cactus, Removes it And Finds It’s Not A Dog At All
When Gwen Maxwell saw a little puppy in distress and covered with cacti, she immediately called for help. However, she soon found out that the tiny animal wasn’t a puppy at all.

The 85-year-old retired school teacher spotted the hurt animal after leaving her home one morning.

She saw what she thought was a puppy run across the street while covered in huge clumps of cholla cacti.

“He’d get up and tumble around with all those chollas on him, and it was just so heartbreaking,” she told azfamily.com.
But once Maxwell got a closer look she realized that it was a pup… just not a dog. It was a coyote pup with six or seven pieces of cacti sticking into it’s back, legs, foreleg, knee, and shoulder.

Maxwell ran to a neighbor for help who summoned some assistance.

She then noticed that the coyote pup’s mother was keeping a watchful eye on her child.

“She kept coming back and holding a vigil in my backyard,” Maxwell recalled.
Two gloved maintenance workers from the Pebblebrook Golf Course soon showed up to help. That’s when worker Jose Soto and Assistant Superintendent Shawn Bordine used pliers to pull the clumps of cacti away from the coyote’s skin.“The dangerous cholla cactus spines likely weighed more than the pup herself,” the Town’s Facebook page said.
They were surprised by how calm the pup was throughout this process.

“As Jose held him, I was able to pull stickers out of his mouth,” Bordine said. “He didn’t bite or make a sound.”
