"When I first heard the coyotes, they were cackling and howling in the bushes," Emma's owner, Tim Leonard, told Newsweek.

"The sound seemed to come from all around us. Emma looked to her left, and I immediately yelled, 'Get over here," the Canadian said.

He told the outlet that the coyote calls were a lot quieter in the video than they were in real life.

Roaring is Emma's "code word for danger," Leonard explained.

"I taught Emma this when she was a puppy, and we reinforced it over the years. I'm glad we did because when the coyotes appeared, she knew exactly what to do."

In the now-viral clip that's been viewed by over ten million TikTokers, Emma does exactly what she's trained to do. She quickly started trotting away from the dangerous situation!

Emma and Leonard took off running and ultimately escaped the scary situation.

Even though pets rarely get attacked by these wild dogs, big packs can pose a real threat, as Leonard explained in his video subtitles.

"The coyote pack will try to lure her into the bushes and then attack and kill her," he said.

As per Newsweek, the packs can become more dangerous during breeding season.

Luckily, the two made it out of the scary situation safely, and Emma didn't seem traumatized by the close call.

"She's not afraid to go in the woods – she's a brave girl. Something will scare her, and she'll want to go and investigate," Leonard said. It's a good thing this collie is well trained!
