A 51-year-old woman was attacked by coyotes as she walked her dog in southeast Denver, wildlife officials said.
The woman, who lives in the 3900 block of South Oneida Street, told authorities she was walking her 75-pound Labrador retriever Saturday night when they were surrounded by three coyotes.
Two of the coyotes attacked the dog, and the owner intervened. As she tried to defend the dog, a coyote scratched and bit the woman, according to a new release from the Colorado Division of Wildlife.
The unidentified victim was treated at Swedish Medical Center and released. The dog was taken to a veterinary hospital, said Jennifer Churchill, a DOW spokeswoman.
