Surveillance video captured the unproven and brutal attack of two Chihuahuas after two coyotes on the lookout jumped and killed the pet dogs at a home in California.
The video captured the gruesome moment two starving coyotes chased two Chiuahaus – Salem and Gizmo – before embarking on the murder that took place in the backyard of their Granada Hills home on Sunday.
Footage shows each coyote holding the limp battered body of the deceased dog dangling from its mouth.
Meanwhile, Ella, the family’s only surviving dog, who was able to get away but was bitten by one of the wild animals and seemed shaken.
Heartbroken homeowners Tamara and Doug Wynn pinpointed the exact location where the attack took place. Doug Wynn told KTLA News “it happened here…and it happened so fast.”

Dog owners first learned of the horrific attack when their daughter started screaming.
Tamara Wynn said her daughter “didn’t see anything, they were just hiding and waiting”.
Doug Wynn seemed puzzled that the coyotes were able to scale the six-foot fence that surrounds their property.
“I think they were tracking them and figured out these animals were out there at this time every day,” Doug said, the outlet reported.

The Wynn family said they often see coyotes running amok and said sightings have become more common in their area of Granada Hills, a suburban neighborhood in the San Fernando area of Los Angeles.
The deadly attack follows a coyote attack in Woodland Hills last weekend that injured a toddler. This coyote was tracked, captured and shot.

Tamara warned other pet owners. She said, in part; even if you’re watching, you have to go, make sure there’s nothing hidden before you let your dogs out,’ KTLA News reported.
Her husband added, in part, “We would like to let people know that this can happen to you.
After the loss of their beloved pets, the family now plans to contact California Fish and Wildlife, hoping that these coyotes from Woodland Hills – and other places – can be tracked and captured.
