A white Maltese dog that was found dead Monday morning in Montrose was likely killed by a coyote, according to the staff at Rosemont Pet Hospital.
The dog, which was named Minnie, was reportedly found dead in the 2500 block of Community Avenue in Montrose, the Glendale News-Press reported.
Attempts to reach the owners were unsuccessful.
It's not uncommon for coyotes to attack small pets in urban areas and Maltese dogs typically weigh no more than 5 pounds.
Officials suggest residents keep pet food indoors and secure trash cans to dissuade wildlife from moving in. Clearing brush and overgrowth can also make a neighborhood less desirable for coyotes, officials say.
