Wauwatosa police are investigating an incident that left a Dachshund dead in the early morning hours of Thursday, Sept. 10.

Around 6:40 a.m., a woman was jogging along Underwood Parkway in Wauwatosa when her dog was attacked by a coyote. The dog had just been taken off a leash, according to police.

"She said, 'Come on, let's go,'" said Lt. Brian Zalewski of the department. The woman and the dog began to run side-by-side.

At some point, a coyote emerged from the woods.

"Seconds later, she heard the dog screech or cry out," he said. "A coyote had bit the dog and had it in its mouth."

Keep your dogs on leash, especially while this is happening in the neighborhood!!
