ANIMAL WATCH-During a brief lifting of COVID-19 restrictions in May 2020, a San Diego man took his Pit Bull to a San Diego-area park, where an aggressive coyote jumped a six-foot fence to attack the dog.
They stared at each other stiffly for a few seconds and then the coyote became even more agitated and chased the large dog, attempting to bite him repeatedly as he ran to his owner. News10 broadcast an alarming video of the event which happened around 3 p.m.
"Coyotes are getting bolder during the virus pandemic," says Fox5, local residents claim it is not the first time this brazen coyote has chased dogs in the same park and that there have been numerous recent mid-day sightings of coyotes in residential neighborhoods.
