MILFORD – The residents of Milford have been issued a critical advisory urging them to exercise heightened vigilance over their pets, following an unsettling incident where a small dog was seized by a coyote.
Authorities from Milford’s animal control department have revealed that a canine named Guido fell victim to a coyote on Wednesday morning along Pine Island Road. This incident has sparked a collective concern among pet owners, prompting a call for increased vigilance during dawn and dusk, times that coyotes are particularly active in their search for prey.
In the wake of this incident, residents within the neighborhood are being implored to meticulously scan their yards and adjoining areas for any potential evidence related to the missing pet. The Araya family, who were the owners of the taken dog, express a heartfelt wish that Guido’s remains be located to provide a semblance of closure during this distressing time.
Individuals who happen upon any information related to Guido’s whereabouts are earnestly requested to reach out via the following contact number: (508) 478-3871.
This incident follows a separate coyote encounter earlier in the week in Fall River, where a woman was attacked by a rabid coyote while walking her own dog. Such instances underscore the importance of proactive vigilance to ensure the safety and well-being of both pets and their owners.
