A woman in Cortlandt Manor reported Monday that on June 7 the coyote killed a dachshund and injured an 80-pound German shepherd mix behind her home. The coyote returned for the dachshund's carcass despite being yelled at.
The coyote's aggression and lack of fear of humans could mean it is rabid.
The German shepherd's owner is being treated for rabies as a precaution because she handled the injured dog.
Rabies can be fatal in humans if left untreated.
