A Poughkeepsie City councilman had a scary encounter with a coyote while walking his dog in College Hill Park near Morgan Lake.
Councilman Evan Menist says the coyote snuck up behind them and almost bit his dog Harvey from behind. He called 911 and after that chewed out the coyote to terrify it away, however for the next 5 minutes it kept attempting to get close.
Menist says he lastly had the ability to get some range far from the coyote prior to very first responders showed up.
