A string of violent encounters with coyotes in urban and suburban areas in the state has prompted animal control officials and law enforcement to urge caution when taking pets out.

In this Oct. 23, 2015 black and white infrared photo released by the National Park Service shows coyote C-146 captured by a motion-triggered camera trap near in Northeast Los Angeles.

Police in the town of Hopkinton said a woman was walking her dogs on Thursday when a coyote snatched one of the animals. In Milford, a coyote took a dog named “Guido” from Pine Island Road on Wednesday morning, animal control officials in that town said. Milford animal control officials said in a Facebook post that residents need to be more vigilant at dusk and dawn, which are optimal hunting times for coyotes. Police in Hopkinton said in a statement that residents should consider carrying a walking stick. They also said police “feel horrible this happened to someone’s fur buddy, they are members of the family and are a tremendous loss when we lose them.
