Showing Original Post only (View all)Coyote Pack Chases Puppy into Home, Smashes Door [View all]
Last edited Sun Jan 27, 2013, 01:47 AM - Edit history (1)
A pack of coyotes chasing after a puppy broke several panes of glass in the door of a home in a suburb of Chicago Friday as they tried to chase the dog into the house.
"I've never seen anything quite like this," Riverside Police Chief Thomas Weitzel said of the attack on South Herbert Road, Riverside, about a mile from the Des Plaines River.
Dog owner Roger Nelson said it was about 4 a.m. when he let his three dogs -- a beagle, a golden retriever and a German shepherd puppy -- out into the yard.
He said his pups barely made it out of the door when the pack of coyotes came charging. The coyotes -- Nelson said there were four of them --came from the bushes and easily cleared a fence.
"That's about a three-and-a-half foot fence. I mean, they jumped it, no issues at all," he said.
Nelson said he hurried the dogs back inside. They made it, but the coyotes didn't let up.

Coyotes eat any thing that is weaker than them or which they can pack kill.

Did the home owner have a gun or did they use harsh words to stop them
