A cat is being hailed as a hero after a video of her saving a dog was shared online. The clip shows how the cat rushes to save her dog friend from being attacked by two coyotes.
The video, captured on CCTV, was shared on the Facebook page Freedom Dog Spa. “Our animals are amazing! This is our client Oakley! She was let out to potty and was attacked by coyotes! Binx the very very brave cat came to the rescue! Watch as Binx scares them off to save her dog sister! Oakley is home and recovering. Amazing!” reads the caption posted along with the video.

Almost instantly, the cat enters the scene and starts running towards the pooch. In the meantime, another coyote joins the scene. The video ends with the kitty chasing away the animals to save the pooch.
