Coyote vs Dog

Occurred on June 13, 2012 / Riverside, California, USA

Info from Licensor: "I go running with my dog in the hills of Riverside, California. I give the coyotes water and observes their behavior. The female coyote, protecting her pups, displays aggressive behavior by sneaking up behind my dog and nipping it in the heel, a technique to lure the dog back to the pack waiting to ambush. This may look like a suburban area, which it is, but these coyotes live and roam freely here."
