There has been another frightening encounter with a coyote in Hamilton.
A woman went to police yesterday to report a coyote snatched her chihuahua yesterday morning while she was sitting on a bench by the Waterfront Trail.
The woman says the canine came up, grabbed her dog, and ran away.
A search of the area by Animal Services failed to find any sign of the coyote or the chihuahua.
This is the fourth incident in just over two months.
A coyote took a Yorkie from a backyard along the escarpment in September, last month a pack of coyotes killed a GoldenDoodle on the Bruce Trail in Ancaster, and a young boy was knocked down by one of the canine's while out for a hike.
