Dog and Coyote Fight at San Francisco Park

A coyote attack at a popular San Francisco park left a pit bull injured. Witnesses say the dog and the coyote fought in thick brush near Pine Lake for more than 20 minutes. They added that the dog’s owner, police and parkgoers had a hard time getting to the dog and when they finally did, the dog appeared to be in shock. Animal care officials searched for the coyote but could not find it. The agency said the pitbull was off leash in an “on-leash” area of the park. There are signs in the park warning dog owners about coyotes.
