Small dog injured by coyote, Hidden Cove, #Bainbridge. Neighbors, owners quickness saved dog. Even near home, unattended pets are in danger
We loose chickens every year in late May through June. The coyotes are more on the prowl in the early summer. Must be a pup related thing. Keep your small pets close by this time of year. And know Coyote attacks on people are extremely rare. Since 3 million children are bitten by dogs every year, your small child is millions of times more likely to get hurt by the family pet than by a coyote.
Thank you for the post Susan, didn’t know this.
Just today (17 Jun 09) my wife and our two little dogs were approached by a coyote near Hansen and Springridge, near the donkeys. She said it got within 15 feet but eventually went away. A bit later on their walk, in the unfinished development, were surprised that the coyote was still following them. Then again it disappeared.
Keith, Thank you for the post. We are sending it on to twitter to let others know to be cautious.
