Family warns pet owners about coyotes after their dog was nearly killed
SCOTTSDALE, Arizona (KPHO/KTVK) Just a few seconds was all it took, says a Scottsdale family, for their dog to end up in the jaws of a coyote.
The attack happened right in their backyard in a neighborhood just south of Scottsdale Road and Shea Boulevard.
“He was so lucky, literally so lucky. He was so brave, you know, trying to fight the coyote,” said dog owner May Algebori.
Algebori said she still can’t bring herself to revisit the spot in her backyard where little Mickey, her 4-year-old Shih Tzu-poodle mix, was nearly killed.
