A sheepdog who managed to kill eight coyotes while guarding his flock of sheep and goats is recovering from injuries sustained during the confrontation.

The dog, named Casper, works on John Wierwiller’s farm in Georgia and managed to keep the coyotes at bay in a fight that lasted more than half an hour.

After the dogfight, Casper seemed to suddenly disappear for two days.

“We knew he was injured because we found parts of his tail, blood and other things, so we were worried,” Wierwiller said. WAGA.

Eventually, Casper returned, clearly showing his injuries. The dog had open wounds on its neck and side.

“He was looking at me like, ‘Boss, stop looking at how bad I look, just take care of me,'” Wierwiller explained. “It looked like a coyote grabbed her skin and ripped it off.”

The Animal LifeLine Project, an organization with a mission to end the euthanasia of healthy animals, stepped in to help raise money to cover all of Casper’s hospital bills, raising $15,000.

The sheepdog continues to be cared for by the organization’s veterinary staff more than a month after the attack.

“I can’t even explain how good it is to see him right now, because I felt like there was no way he was alive when I saw him (after the attack),” Weirville told wbtv.

The Atlanta Coyote Project, which monitors animal movements in the area, says that while it’s common to see coyotes roaming around, it’s rare to see so many running together in a pack.

“This is extremely unusual behavior for coyotes, and we suspect there could be extenuating circumstances,” said Chris Mowry, a professor of biology at Berry College.

“In this particular situation, the only thing that makes sense is if there was a large litter this year and the pups hadn’t dispersed yet. This could make sense if there are a lot of resources available, which seems to be the case in this area of ​​Decatur,” Mowry said.

Casper will remain in the care of Project Animal LifeLine for several more weeks before he is allowed to return home.

The Animal LifeLine Project raised $15,000 to pay for all of Casper's hospital bills and will be recouped over the next several months.
