EDMONTON – The Farthings have a warning for other Edmonton pet owners after a traumatizing incident unfolded before their eyes earlier this week.
Renet Farthing’s husband had just set out to walk their Rhodesian Ridgeback offleash in Riverbend Tuesday evening when a pack of coyotes appeared.
“About five, six coyotes came after the dog. She obviously took off, everything happened so fast,” said Farthing, who was in the front yard at the time.
“They weren’t scared, they were aggressive…they were very aggressive. They had a mission in mind and they knew what they wanted to do.”
The dog eventually managed to escape, but not before the coyotes wounded both of her legs, which are now covered in more than a dozen stitches.
Some of Portia’s stiches on one of her legs. There was a tube put into her leg that drains fluid and blood so she doesn’t get an infection.
