Coyote Apparently Kills Farmington Hills Pet Dog

A coyote is suspected of being the culprit in the recent death of Rocky, a 5-year-old miniature pinscher in Farmington Hills. 

The small dog was snatched from his backyard about a week ago, dragged through a creek and later discovered with fatal neck injuries in a neighbor's yard, reports LeAnne Rogers of Hometown Life.

"We found him in our neighbor's yard. He was barely alive. We rushed him to the emergency veterinarian," owner Colleen Burke tells the suburban news site. "The vet said based on the injuries and the type of wounds, indicated it was a coyote" attack.
