“They got within a few feet and I started swinging a seven-foot log and yelling to keep them away.”
James Younger was at Island View Beach Sunday night with his dog Lou photographing the aurora borealis when he saw them.
A few years ago, one of his previous dogs was grabbed by the tail by what he thinks are previous generations of the same otter family. His pooch at the time was lucky and only had some hair bitten from its tail. Another dog was attacked by otters at Clover Point in June 2018 while swimming about 25 feet off shore. One of the otters pounced on the dog’s back while another bit into the leg in a attempt to drag the dog down. The dog escaped.
