A Las Vegas teen saved her tiny dog on Friday after a hawk swooped into her backyard and attempted to carry off her 2-pound Yorkie puppy, Lulu.

Cecilia Celis told local news station KSNV that she was inside her home making tacos when she heard barking and crying from the yard. She thought her two dogs were probably just playing but looked outside to check on them, just in case. It’s a good thing for Lulu that she did.

“We see a huge bird fly up, and I yell at the bird, ‘Get off my dog! Get off my dog!’” Celis said.

The teenager can be seen in home surveillance footage swatting at the bird with a pillow in an attempt to get it off the small dog. The bird eventually flies away.
