SUN CITY WEST, Ariz. -- A coyote pup is on the mend after suffering an unpleasant encounter with a cholla cactus this week.

Sun City West resident Gwen Maxwell said she went for a walk Tuesday morning when she saw what she thought was a small puppy across the street.

Maxwell said the animal crawled under some bushes, and eventually disappeared.

A little while later, Maxwell walked around the side of her home and saw the coyote pup in her backyard covered in cholla cactus.

After speaking with a neighbor about the animal, Maxwell watched the pup from her window while waiting for help to arrive.

Maxwell said the pup’s mother also made its way to her home.

Why would anybody want to do anything with a coyote (any age) other than shoot it??

If we knew where varmintman lived we might know the answer to the question. I come from a state rich in the varmint in question. Very rich to the point of Coyote = bad, dead coyote = good.

Like most critters, they're cute when they're young.

And then they grow up .....

Yowch! Poor lil beastie!

Bless those folks who helped the little guy out. It says a lot about their humanity, no matter how worthless the animal might be.

It could be argued that we are simply weeding out the slow and the stupid amongst them. Now THAT’s a scary thought!

That little ‘pup’ will one day carry off her cat, small dog, maybe even a small child/baby. It’s nature - should have left it alone.

Thank you.

It’s easy to love the loveable things of this world.

Greater is he who has compassion for the unloveable.

Ten years ago there were no Yotes around my place. Now when I left the dogs out to do their business I stand guard on them with firearm in hand till they come back in the house. I’d like to see my state {Tennessee} place a bounty on them. They were never native to my area.

Jesus had that general philosophy so I certainly can’t take credit.
