Written by An Arizona mother is recovering after she was attacked by a coyote that initially went after her 4-year-old daughter, reports AZFamily. Brittany Cardinal of Surprise, Arizona, was left with puncture wounds and lacerations on her face after the attack Sunday afternoon. She told the outlet that, before the attack, she and her daughter were outside because it was windy and her daughter wanted to fly a kite. While outside, Cardinal heard her daughter scream. When she turned around, she saw a coyote nipping at the girl.
“I picked [my daughter] up, and then I started yelling at [the coyote], thinking, of course, it’s going to go away, and then it didn’t,” Cardinal said. Cardinal says she took off her flip-flop and tried to intimidate the coyote with it, but during the struggle, she fell and the coyote lunged and clamped down on her face. “I always hear people say you don’t feel the pain when trauma like that happens, and, I mean, I really didn’t feel any pain.
I just felt like the pressure of it,” Cardinal said. Cardinal and her daughter were eventually able to get away and run home for help. “There was no hesitation at all. I don’t even think I thought about anything. I think you just, like, as a mom, you just try to protect your kid,” she said.
