LITTLETON, Colo. — A Littleton neighborhood is on edge after a coyote attacked and nearly killed a woman’s dog Saturday morning.

These attacks are becoming more and more common.

According to the Colorado Division of Wildlife, in the wild where they are actively hunted and trapped, coyotes are generally elusive. Near cities or in areas where hunting and trapping is not allowed, coyotes may be aggressive. In urban settings, they can lose their fear of people and may even threaten domestic pets.

They’ve even attacked children recently. One young boy in Erie had to receive rabies shots for several weeks after an attack.

Coyotes are being spotted more in alleys and open spaces, attracted to things like open garbage and bird feeders.
Buster is a Chihuahua-Terrier mix. He was attacked Saturday morning.
