Little Girl Survives Mountain Lion Attack Thanks To Divine Intervention
What started as a fun-filled family reunion in Idaho quickly turned horrific after a sudden mountain lion attack. But thanks to divine intervention, the victim -- 4-year-old Kelsi Butt -- is alive and well today!
Everyone was having a great time at the family reunion, held near Green Canyon Hot Springs. But all of that changed in just a matter of minutes!

The Mountain Lion Attack
Kelsi was walking with two of her cousins when a 93-pound male mountain lion appeared out of nowhere. He bounded from the nearby weeds and grabbed little Kelsi before anyone could stop him.

The nightmarish scene shocked everyone. Terrified, Kelsi's mom, Kera, ran to her daughter, screaming at the mountain lion to let her go. She screamed and screamed and, amazingly, it worked. The wild animal dropped her baby girl!

Angels Watching Over
The poor girl was bleeding and there were puncture wounds on her belly. But miraculously, she was alive and relatively fine!
They rushed Kelsi to the hospital. Doctors cleaned Kelsi's wounds, started her on antibiotics and gave her a rabies shot. From the neck down, there was plenty of bruising from the neck down. But no major damage.

Praise God for keeping this precious girl safe, just as he kept Daniel safe when he was placed in the den of lions!
"My God has sent his angel, and has shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: for as much as before him innocence was found in me; and also before you, O king, have I done no hurt." Daniel 6:22
