Underdog: Stacked up against 11 coyotes, herd dog kills 8 to save sheep in Decatur neighborhood<\/strong> Author: Reeves Jackson Despite being only a 20-month-old Great Pyrenees, the livestock herding dog at a home in Decatur displayed his heroic actions by protecting a herd of sheep last month.<\/p>\n It all started in the cul de sac around 9 p.m. on Nov. 3 when a few coyotes came near the house. John Wierwille, the homeowner and Casper’s owner, said that he was able to turn them away by throwing a few rocks in their direction and yelling at them to go away.<\/p>\n However, the coyotes were not done. Around 2:30 a.m., Wierwille said he was awakened by the dogs barking and went outside to see his two dogs, Casper and Daisy, backing the sheep up in the corner in order to keep them safe.<\/p>\n As he approached closer, Wierwille noticed a few coyotes already inside the pen, with multiple others just beyond it. He explained that there was around five or six total at the time.<\/p>\n “I wasn’t really afraid they were going to attack me or anything,” he said. “But they weren’t responding [to me], they were focused on Casper I think more than anything.”<\/p>\n Wierwille describes the moment Casper sprang into action, as he charged into the middle of the pack in a scrum between the animals that lasted roughly 30 minutes. After killing a few coyotes in the initial action, Wierwille said that Casper continued to fight.<\/p>\n After the coyotes jumped out of the fence, they split up and ran different ways. The undeterred Casper chased them down outside of the fence line, where another fight led to him killing a few more down an embankment to the creek that borders their home, Wierwille said. He lost sight of Casper and couldn’t find him anymore.<\/p>\n Casper killed eight coyotes, but it was his disappearance that concerned the owner more.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n 8 \/ 0 \/ 11 Follow the link and find out.*grin*<\/p>\n Michigan man dead after police shootout<\/strong> A man sought by police in connection with the slaying of an ex-girlfriend has been fatally shot during an exchange of gunfire with officers in western Michigan.<\/p>\n Members of a fugitive task force, acting on a tip that the man was in a Grand Rapids home, encountered him about noon Thursday in an alley, the city’s police department said.<\/p>\n He started shooting and running, said Police Chief Eric Winstrom.<\/p>\n Three officers returned fire in what Winstrom described as a “running gun battle.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nDECATUR, Ga. \u2014 When stacked up against a pack of 11 coyotes looking for blood, the expectation of a dog overcoming the odds to defeat them all seems insurmountable. Little did these coyotes know they were up against Casper.<\/p>\n
