*that backyard is just a playground for wild animals. look at all those junk. No wonder the dog didn't see it coming.*

[geoffcowley]

Maybe they should clean up their backyard so the coyotes don't have a place too hide!!!

[narekhart]

unkept yard + little dogs = should've seen this coming

[billybob]

This is so sad. This is why I've owned German shepherds all my life. I want a dog able to defend itself

[Letskeepit.]

They should clean up their back yard! It looks like a junk yard no wonder they got caught! They shouldn’t have let those poor babies out

[lady]

So a wild animal actually being a wild animal. Wow lol

[mikecook]

wow! imagine looking out your window and seeing a junk yard at your granada hills home .... these people need the city to fine them the poor dogs are better off now, the house is probably a horder situation with roaches and rats

So very sorry for your loss. I hope everyone can learn for your unfortunate experience. What I see is #1, keep your yard clear of clutter, giving a line of visibility in all directions. #2 Clear the yard BEFORE you allow your pets out. #3 carry an airhorn and STAY with your pets while they're taking care of business #4. Do not leave your pets/children out alone, PERIOD! These animals are DESPERATELY hungry, do not leave pet food bowls outdoors with food. Again, so very sorry for your loss!

I can't watch the video. But why are dogs *ever* left unattended if coyotes are around? Over my dead body would my beloved dog be wandering around like that.

[hamradiotimes]

How about cleaning that backyard. So many hiding places...

[socalbass]

Just another day nature's taking it's course. Can't blame the coyotes.

[dianeporter]

I feel sad for the coyotes as well as the dogs. Seriously

[reynasmith]

With more coyote sightings, people need to stop leaving their pets outside unattended even if it’s to use the bathroom.

[RickSanchez-]

if u have a small dog outside watch over

[freedumbfromtheleft]

With all that junk in the yard, I wouldn't be surprised what wild things live in there. Also, this is just nature, plain and simple!

The language!!? Attacked, killed… all that wild coyote did was eat, eat to survive.

[lantlavoer]

That's probably because of all the wild fires they've had. The coyotes have been ran out of the wild into the residential areas.

[commanderbell]

Dogs are fair game Coyotes have to eat too

[tiffaniste]

When you have smaller chihuahua you have to be outside when thy are outside. They are like babies, you wouldn’t leave your baby outside alone, not even for a second. I’m so sorry the chihuahuas😢

[alesstysanchez]

Never leave small dogs unattended. If it’s not a coyote next time it will be a hawk or a snake. Treat them like your 2 year old toddler. Don’t let them leave your sight. Don’t blame nature for doing what nature does
