The coyotes were displaying aggression. Lunged towards the dogs. However the courageous Dalmatians firmly held their ground instinctively shielding their dog walker. It is reported that Deanna managed to bite one of the coyotes, on its neck causing the wild animals to retreat momentarily.
"Deanna swiftly grabbed him by the side of his neck and gave it a shake while I attempted to kick him " Josstin recalled vividly.
Fortunately everyone emerged from this encounter unharmed. The Dalmatian owner Jane Friedlander expressed no surprise as her dogs had confronted coyotes in the past. Moreover she mentioned that local coyotes have become increasingly aggressive lately.
