In early November, a little coyote was discovered on a golf course in Ottawa, Canada. He was in bad shape, sick and injured.

Worried that his mange and injuries would not allow him to survive through the intense Canadian winter, some Good Samaritans called animal control, who then set traps to catch the coyote so they could help him.

But the rescue was not easy, and the coyote kept fleeing them, not knowing that they were there to help him, not hurt him.

Finally, a couple of weeks later, they were able to catch the coyote. Upon further examination, they realized he was in worse shape than they initially thought.
