"In a Facebook post on Thursday, Wrentham police said both attacks occurred when dogs were left unattended in yards during overnight or early morning hours. One incident was reported near Thurston Street along the Foxboro line, while the other happened in a neighborhood off Creek Street. "Please take precautions when letting your dogs out," police said. "Take them out on a leash or, at least, be out there with them. Bottom line is do not let them out unattended.""
""We strongly encourage residents to take precautions, particularly during early morning and evening hours. Please do not leave pets - especially small dogs -unattended outside, even in fenced yards. Supervising pets and remaining aware of wildlife activity can help prevent incidents like these from occurring," animal control officials said. Wrentham police said the dogs were on the smaller side, while animal control described at least one of the dogs as "medium-sized." Coyotes are present in nearly all Massachusetts cities and towns, according to MassWildlife."
At least two dogs were killed by coyotes in Wrentham during separate overnight or early morning incidents, with one reported near Thurston Street along the Foxboro line and another off Creek Street. Both attacks occurred when dogs were left unattended in yards. Police and animal control urged residents to supervise pets, take them out on a leash, and avoid leaving pets unattended even in fenced yards. Officials emphasized increased vigilance during early morning and evening hours. MassWildlife notes coyotes are present across Massachusetts and can target unattended pets after dark; human presence beside a pet can prevent attacks.
