Coyotes in My Backyard - Maybe Yours, too?

December 14th, 2006 categories: Central Connecticut News & Information

In response to the news this morning that two small dogs had been attacked by a coyote in South Windsor, I took a look at a map to see how close these attacks were to me.  Too close is the answer. Here’s a map of the two incidents that occurred on Cliffwood Drive and Steadman Circle.  My house is somewhere in between.

I don’t think I have much to worry about with my dogs - I have three 60 lb dogs who’ve managed to frighten away deer, fox, birds, cats, chipmunks and the occasional UPS man (I don’t think they’re supposed to just drop the package in my driveway but who can blame them).  But just to be on the safe side, I will be much more cautious - and so should you if you have pets.
