When the family managed to get home safely, they found Ella with severe bruises.

“We heard the noise and when we opened the back door we found Ella covered in blood. There was blood all over the door and throughout the courtyard,” Crystal recalled of the shocking scene.

Luckily, when she got to the vet, the doctor told Crystal that all of the injuries were centered on her back and were not fatal.

“She stayed haughty and protective to the end just to defend us,” the woman thanked.

What the jaguar did in the house

It’s not uncommon to have these jaguars in the Cedar Hills area, according to Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) officials.

Although they did not find the wild animal that attacked Ella, authorities found the animal’s footprints in the backyard where the fight took place.

There are also goats at a nearby farm, and it’s possible the puma was after them.

Ella, you were very brave! A real heroine!
