As a mama bear would protect her cub, Furlan fearlessly jumped into action.  

“I climbed up the wall and grabbed her out of its mouth,” Furlan wrote. “Thank God she’s a little bit fat because he couldn’t make it over the wall with her. If it was teenie she would’ve been gone.”  

In the video you can hear Furan yelling “A coyote grabbed Neena!”  

Her husband is then seen in the frame. She tells him “We can’t leave the dogs out!” 

“This is in Broad daylight at 1 p.m. (The coyotes) are getting more brazen and hungry,” she wrote. “Please be safe. I’m not even letting the dogs out anymore. This is ridiculous. Hug your babies extra tight.” 

Furlan said that Neena is now safe.
