Despite suffering horrific injuries, Eva managed to save the life of her owner.

Capt. Patrick Foy of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife argues that it is plausible to conclude that the dog saved the woman's life.

Erin posted on GoFundMe that "my puppy is my hero" and that "I owe her my life."

You're a brave woman, Eva! We appreciate your bravery in defending your owner by battling this mountain lion. It reminds us of the loyalty and vigilance that dogs possess.
