Man fights off coyote that attacked small dog in Everett – NBC Boston
Police in Everett, Massachusetts, are warning pet owners to watch out after a coyote attacked a small dog.
The wild animal pounced on James Marquadeo's dog Thursday morning in Westover Street.
Marquadeo says his instincts kicked in when his pet was under attack.
“There was a broom sitting right there, cause I was sweeping the deck, and I grabbed that thing and I whacked him — he didn't even move,” Marquadeo said. “But I whacked him two more times, harder than — should have knocked him out, but he just ran away. Cause I was screaming at the same time, cause I was terrified, too.”
Police are asking pet owners to be on alert and watch their pets while spending any time outdoors.
