Coyote Snatches Dog in Edmonds | Seattle News

A coyote snatched a dog from a backyard in Edmonds last Sunday night, sparking alarm and prompting a police response — though the animal vanished before anyone could confirm if the pup made it out alive. This isn’t an isolated incident: urban coyotes are increasingly spotted around the city, drawn by easy access to food and shelter. Wildlife experts stress simple, effective steps to stay safe: keep pets indoors at night, leash dogs during dawn and dusk, secure trash and small animal enclosures, and never feed them. If you spot one, don’t run — make noise, wave arms, or use a hose to scare it off. Coexistence is possible with a little awareness and smart precautions.
