Another Langley dog owner has reported an unsettling encounter with a coyote.

Amber Medeiros was walking her dog Sage, a medium-sized lab-pit-beagle cross, at Meadows Edge Park in Langley Meadows around 6:30 a.m. on June 15, when a coyote began to stalk them.

Medeiros used a compressed air B次元官网网址榩et correctorB次元官网网址 (that emits a hissing sound to interrupt undesirable behavior by a dog) to keep the coyote from following.

She said she had to use it three to four times.

B次元官网网址淲hen we got far enough away, out of sight, we booked it up the hill. Without the air compressor pet corrector to stop it IB次元官网网址檓 not sure [of] the outcome.B次元官网网址

B次元官网网址淚t really scared me a lot,B次元官网网址 Medeiros told the Langley Advance Times.

B次元官网网址淚t was a huge coyote and I am recovering from neck surgery and would not be able to handle an encounter [that was] any more aggressive. When we got out of itB次元官网网址檚 sight [I] ran my dog as fast as I could to get away, and every person I passed, I let them know to watch out.B次元官网网址

Medeiros has also reported the incident the B.C. Conservation Officer Service (COS).

B次元官网网址淣ow every morning walk makes me nervous, and I am even more observant of my surroundings to be prepared. I carry a pet corrector spray, and a coyote spray, just in case,B次元官网网址 Medeiros elaborated.

While Medeiros said she feels for the animals that are being pushing out of their spaces by all the growth and building in Langley, B次元官网网址渂ut itB次元官网网址檚 still super scary to come face-to-face with an aggressive animal.B次元官网网址
