Courageous cat in Oklahoma chases off coyotes — saves dog's life
A Havanese pup, Oakley, was attacked by a coyote with another one lurking nearby when the household cat, Binx, chased the predators away. The Oklahoma homeowner shares footage of the daring rescue.
The shelter hopes that as Frosty trims down, he will be happier.
Frosty did turn into a bit of a social media sensation after his story was posted on Facebook.
"We get emails from all across the country, people that are interested, people that comment," RACC Outreach Coordinator Robin Young previously told WWBT. "Frosty was brought to us by a concerned citizen who found her as a stray, believe it or not, out and about in the city."
This story was reported from Los Angeles.
