WRENTHAM, Mass. — Police in a Massachusetts town are warning residents to take precautions after coyotes killed at least two dogs within the last week.
Wrentham Police Chief Bill McGrath said that in both incidents, “smaller-sized” dogs were outside alone in yards at night or the early morning when they were attacked and killed.
One attack happened at a home around Thurston Street near the Foxboro line, and the more recent attack occurred in a neighborhood off Creek Street, McGrath noted.
“Please take precautions when letting your dogs out. Take them out on a leash or, at least, be out there with them,” McGrath wrote in a Facebook post. “Bottom line is, do not let them out unattended. Look online for other helpful suggestions.”
There were no additional details immediately available.
