Erin promptly returned the favor by fending off the enormous cat with rocks and wood. She even tried to enlist the assistance of a local vehicle, who was able to disarm the wild beast by spraying it with pepper spray.
Eva was successfully transferred to the hospital, and contrary to appearances, the courageous dog managed to live. Erin has created a GoFundMe page in order to assist with the financial burden of Eva's medical expenses. She reports that her hero is making progress in his recovery, and the veterinarians are "optimistic."
