This weekend, one of our cherished DMCC volunteer couples had their beloved toy poodle snatched by a coyote from a friend's back yard where humans were also present. The friend lives on Hidden Pines which backs up to the Carmel Valley/Torrey Pines canyon area.
Please be extra mindful with small pets and children if visiting or living near any of the the canyon areas, since the coyotes seem to be more daring.
