On Saturday night, about 1:00 a.m., a homeowner was startled by an uninvited visitor. Although we are all warned about coyotes and their apparent ingenuity when it comes to hunting, we may never realize how intelligent these predators really can be. Making sure you accompany your pets when outside might must be only the beginning of precautions needed to protect our dogs and cats.
According to Julie Levine of Canine Rescue Connection, the unexpected incident occurred when a coyote made its way into her home through the doggy door and spent about three minutes inside of her home.
He walked along this way as you see the video, jumped down right about here the motion sensor lights came on and he found the dog door. I think he got three quarters the way down the hallway and kind of saw us perhaps and kind of realized what he was up against and kinda took off. I have beagles and that’s what the tracking was all about they got the scent in their nose and they just went crazy.

After the coyote fled, the beagles did pick up the scent, but thankfully no one was injured nor was there any confrontation.
As another warning, coyotes are more than capable of killing small pets for food. Julie thinks this might be the same coyote that has been spotted numerous times in the neighborhood for at least a month.
For now on, Levine will be securing her doggy door as well as her front door just in case this coyote decides to make a return call.
Check out the video:
They are bold, they are smart, they are looking for food, they’re looking for water and they may just bring some friends back the next time around.
