From the North Central News:
Actually, coyotes aren't that strange along the outskirts of San Antonio. There have been several times when I've seen them scurrying along the roads at night. What I do find a bit odd is that someone spent 48 hours doing surgery on a five-pound dog! That's two whole days of surgery! I don't really want to sound insensitive, but are there even human procedures that take that long?Though an owl in Hollywood Park has been neutralized and is no longer a menace to pedestrians and joggers, a pair of adolescent coyotes has filled the owl’s void to become the newest neighborhood nuisance.
At 6:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 26, Hollywood Park Police Lt. J. Quintero received a call from Candy Karlson; a resident in The Enclave who let her 5-pound Maltese outside while she prepared her dog’s breakfast, then heard her dog’s cries just seconds later.
“She [the dog] was screaming in the front yard,” Karlson said. “I could see two coyotes in the front yard, and they had dropped her. Then when they saw me, they took off running.”
Karlson’s 8-year-old dog underwent 48 hours of emergency surgery to repair two dislocated scapulas, broken ribs and a punctured lung. At press time, Karlson said it looked like her pet would live, but her veterinarian said the dog may not ever regain control of her hind legs.
At 7 a.m., shortly after Karlson saw the destructive duo leave her home, a Hollywood Park police officer saw the two trotting down Fleetwood Street. One of the coyotes had a cat in its mouth.
“They looked like young coyotes,” Quintero said, “and they were playing with the cat, not really eating it.”
That's strange.

My wife just took our pooch to the vet for a shot and a check-up. Close to $100.00 for a five minute look-see.
I don't care how much you love ol' Scruffy, but 48 hours of no kidding vet work has got to add-up. I'd be asking for the convenient, $75.00 and a quick goodbye option.
Also, I loved that the coyotes "were playing with the cat, not really eating it.” Classic!
Yeah, I was astonished at the 48-hour claim. Don't get me wrong, I like dogs (larger ones, though), but that kind of work carries a prohibitively high price tag, to me.
And, yes, I thought the coyote line was classic, too!
Not that we are insensitive or anything...
What an ass, the officer! Why didn't he shot the 2 coyotes, with the cat in their mouth!
I guess that was alright seeing how it's just a cat, right asshole?
I bet it was someone's cat, who's life now has been disrupted! Why is someone so insensitive a cop?
Cops are a joke! What exactly is your job! to serve and protect?I hope for the other animals in that area and the children for that matter that they have done something with the coyotes! What a jerk! And he doesn't mean to sound insenitive, gee, either do I then!
ha ha only thing they protect, or serve is they serve themselves donuts, and protect their own asses from the wrong doing they themselves are doing!!!!!!!
Ok, the paper wasn't completely accurate. The dog was at the surgical center for 2 days, but the actual surgery took 2 hours. Everything else in the article was accurate.
Hey,
Coyotes are purebred dogs.
Scruffy was a defective MUTANT,The thing that should not be.
Chow down Kawosanuu!
Kill all mutants!

Cats and dogs alike are pets - domestic animals. Coyotes should not be eating any pets. Whether you like cats or small dogs is not the point. The police should have chased coyotes until they released the cat. If an owner wants to spend a million on a pet then that is their perogative. People that don't like cats are prehaps the same people that don't think that all humans are equal!!! A dislike of cats has been also likened to a dislike for females scientifically so all those masoganistic intolerant people can just offer up themselves as a feast next time a hungry coyote comes around!!!!
What?? Where did you read "scientifically" that people that do not like cats also dislike females?? I would love to read that article!
im so happy that the dog had surgery and is ok... i wouldnt want the cyotes killed there animals too and that is how they live...but it would be good to catch them and put them somewhere they can be free....also i think anyone who says they wouldnt pay for there pet to get surgery is a total jerk!!!!! would you not pay for your child???? some people treat there pets as part of the family and would never let them go without...and those are the only people who should have pets!!!!!and to the person who said scruffy was a mutant go to hell....your probably a loser anyways!!!!
Be nice dogs are like family and if that were your family you would do the same thing
I agree
