A Winnipeg man is sharing his story of a close encounter with a pack of coyotes last week.
Steven Roy said he was out rollerblading with his two dogs Friday night near Bishop Grandin in the Waverley Heights area."Had all four of them swooping in, timing us, attacking us. And then they followed us very closely, interacting for pretty close to nine minutes straight," said Roy.
"I was quite fortunate to have 300 pounds worth of dogs with me, my two big guys. But, like I was saying, if it was any other circumstance with somebody else in that situation, I'm sure it wouldn't have been an easy getaway. They were definitely pursuing us." A spokesperson with the province said there are around 70 coyote sightings within Winnipeg city limits a year, but added most of these are just sightings, not conflicts.
