In Northfield, Illinois, a couple has a frightening tale to tell and a home surveillance video to prove it.

The attack happened in their backyard near forest preserves. The coyote grabbed their 14-pound dog, Boozer, before Mrs. Dinges ran from the house and scared the predator away.

Boozer survived, but received staples for a gouge to his eye from.

Keep an eye on your pets. The coyotes sure will.
