Tough Guy Award 5
Darwin works both ways, and man didn’t get to the top of the food chain by accident. The “Tough Guy Award” is the opposite of the Darwin Award.
This week's Tough Guy is Arthur Cole from Massachusetts. This 76 year old grandfather was out walking with his 4 year old grandson when they were attacked from behind by a coyote. Mr. Cole managed to get the coyote in a choke hold when it lunged for his throat, giving his grandson time to run to safety. Mr. Cole wrestled the animal to the ground and pinned it there until help arrived, suffering eight bite wounds from the beast in the process. Local authorities killed the animal and sent the remains to be tested for rabies.
