Littlewood gave another example of a coyote attack which occurred in a backyard on Norfolk Road a few weeks ago. Suddenly, the dog started squealing. The owner came out and pounded the coyote with a hockey stick for 20 minutes. All the while, the coyote had the dog in his mouth and wouldn t let go. Finally, he dropped the dog and ran out of the yard.
Coyotes stalk their prey.
They have a mental time clock as efficient as a Rolex. The dog was safe in the house. There was nothing in the yard but the hockey stick. The coyote was found later and shot by police officers. He tested positive for rabies.
