Family dog saves girl from her encounter with coyote

When her 7-year-old daughter came running into the backyard screaming “A doggie was trying to drag me into the woods!” Denise Allard knew it was no dog.
The sun was quickly setting and, as she rushed her crying daughter inside and rolled up the girl’s sleeve to check for bite marks, Allard had just one animal in mind: coyote.
Allard and her neighbors on Prudence Island have seen plenty of them this year. Once, she heard eerie yelps and cries while a pack attacked prey. Then there was the time a coyote just stared at her from her neighbor’s backyard, lying on a mound and not running away until her neighbor grabbed a rifle and popped off an errant shot.
