Heroic pit bull, Jack, took on a pack of coyotes to save his cat best friend from certain death…

FLORIDA – Jack is no ordinary Pit Bull. ‘Jack is a  hero,’ says his Florida owner Sherrie Lewis. The dog protected Lewis’ cat, named  Kitty, from a bunch of coyotes.
‘As I was walking to the door, I could see  the coyotes over here,’ she motioned.
‘It happened in an instant at the Seminole  neighborhood. One had her by the neck and the other had her by the tail,’ she  told My Fox Tampa  Bay.
Jack ran as fast as he could to defend  Kitty.  Jack attacked the coyotes who eventually let go of their injured  prey.
Kitty was taken  to the vet and is being  treated for brain swelling and a broken tooth.She can’t walk yet but ‘she’s  getting there,’ said Lewis.


Jack is making sure Kitty remains comfortable  during her healing process.
‘He probably feels like he’s the caretaker.  He checks on her every day and sniffs her, seeing what kind of shape she is in,’ said Sherree Lewis.
Jack continues to watch out for coyotes to  return. He stands guard staring at the mangroves behind Sherrie’s house waiting  for trouble to arrive.
Sherrie hired trappers to set up traps behind  the mangroves where Sherrie believes the Coyotes must have come  from.
Sherrie said Jack was able to identify a  predator, ‘He likes other dogs he wouldn’t have done that if there were dogs out  there. It was like he knew the difference,’ she said.
Both pets were rescue animals and were  adopted by Sherrie and her son Peter. Sherrie is watching Jack for her son who  is deployed in Afghanistan. Little did she know Jack would be a fighter as well.   (continue reading with video)
