DALLAS - A 2-year-old boy was critically injured after being attacked by a coyote on the front porch of his Dallas home, police say.
“It’s gut-wrenching,” Divenuti said. “That little boy was sitting on his front porch, and that animal came right up to the porch, unfazed whatsoever, and attacked him.”Even after the attack, Divenuti says the coyote showed no fear. Police say an officer saw the coyote near a park after the attack and shot at it before it ran into the woods. It’s not clear if the animal was hit by a bullet.During an investigation into the attack, animal services says it was revealed that the coyote was well-known in the neighborhood, and residents had been feeding and petting it.
