A little girl was almost dragged away by a Coyote seconds after he stepped outside the amazing $ 2.3 million house of her family in a Ritzy suburb of Seattle.
Chang Tong was just behind his daughter Lena when she stepped outside their beautiful craftsman -house and was immediately attacked on Tuesday by the wild dog.
Tong said they thought the gray-white dog was a dog, so Lena put out his hand to stroke it by reacting by locking his jaws on her palm and dragging her.
“She was about to stroke the dog at the time, and with just one second the Coyote just bite her hand and tried to drag her,” Tong told CBS branch Kiro.
“She was dragged to the ground.”
The horror unfolded on the door of their beautiful house with an expensive Rivian SUV parked in its driveway in the desirable Bellevue district.
“It just went on the mat,” Tong reminded himself, adding that he was just stood in the house while his daughter pushed the door open and took a step outside.
Tong's paternal instincts kicked in and he responded by screaming to the Coyote to hunt it.
A cute four -year -old girl (depicted) was bitten and dragged over the ground by a coyote just a few centimeters from her parental home in a prosperous area of ​​the state of Washington
The girl's father, Chang Tong, said they thought

The animal withdrew and Tong took Lena to the first aid, where doctors treated her for minor injuries on her palm and her a rabies shot.
Tong said he will keep his front gate closed and will talk to his young children about the dangers of Coyotes.
“We may have some weapons, such as a pole or a knife, somewhere handy,” he told Kiro. 'If a neighbor saw it, it is better for them to recognize that it is a coyote. It's not a dog. '
The prosperous Bellevue city was recently plagued by Coyote attacks.
On the same day that Lena was bitten, a Coyote also approached a group of schools who waited at a bus stop in the nearby Factoria and tried to bite them, causing their clothes to be torn.
On Monday another Coyote stole a backpack after a student left it on the sidewalk near Tyee Middle School.
“She was about to stroke the dog at the time, and with just one second the Coyote just bit her hand and tried to drag her,” said Father Chang Tong as he remembered the horrible incident
There have been various Coyote attacks in the Bellevue area of ​​Washington last week
A week before, Coyotes bit two adults in separate incidents.
One of the wild animals bit a man on his leg close to a garage in factoria, while a woman was bitten on her leg while he was sitting on her patio in Norwood Village.
The Fish and Wildlife department of Washington responded by killing one of the coyotes involved and they are still looking for another.
“We have officers who come here in the morning when the children get on the bus,” Sgt. Carlo Pace told Kiro.
It is unclear why the animals are getting so fat.
Nature experts have warned that offering wild animals easy access to food – or even feeding them – they can make loss of their built -in fear of people.
Coyotes also cause massacre beyond Washington. A few adventurous animals were seen in an unexpected place earlier this year – the San Francisco metro system.
The hairy animals appeared on January 27 the central metro tunnel and led bewildered employees on an underground journey for more than a mile.
Employees in the early morning on board SFMTA's Sweeper train saw the canines for the first time during a routine inspection before they opened the transport system for the day.
A few adventurous coyotes were also spotted in an unexpected location – the San Francisco metro system. An image from the surveillance system of the metro (shown above) showed the animals during their search near the fourth and Bryant streets on January 27, 2025
They chased the duo for more than a mile to the end of the line on the Rose Pak station of Chinatown, while trying to plot how they can catch the beings if they had to do.
The workers tried to call San Francisco Animal Care and Control, but it was too early and none of the officials was there to pick up the phones.
San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency Interim Chief Julie Kirschbaum told SFGATE that she received a phone call about the metro crowders for 6 hours.
She said the wake-up call was a real surprise. “You never know what you're going to get,” Kirschbaum said the newspaper.
Fortunately, the animals politely left the metro of themselves before the first planned train of the day, so the intruders did not cause any disturbance.
