Coyote Attacks Dogs in Fairfield

A coyote attacked four dogs on a walk with their owner at the Brett Woods open space Wednesday afternoon, according to the Connecticut Post.

The coyote was already injured when it attacked the dogs, according to the Post, and the dogs fought with it until the owner was able to separate them.

The injured coyote, which was still at the scene when police and animal control officers arrived at the scene, was euthanized and sent to the state lab for rabies testing, according to the Post.
