Vera Barnes Moore obituary [S24] The Newport Plain Talk, (http://www.newportplaintalk.com), Just Plain Talk - Mr. Sandman, bring me some rocks, 9 Jun 2008. To check out the story and get the details for you, I went to Wright's Pool Company and talked with co-owner Lora Wright, who is married to Carson Wright. They have two children, Cody, 8, and Lexi, 6. The incident took place about April 22 during spring break at the Wrights' home at Hartford. It is just up the road from Lora's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Billy Wayne Moore. The Wrights' four dogs, two Westies, a Bischon, and Bischon mix were outside playing and the children were with them around 11 a.m. The family had already been aware that a fox had been making visits. So, Lora wasn't too upset, when Cody came to tell her that "The fox is out there fighting with our dogs." Lora went outside and realized it wasn't a fox and screamed to frighten the coyote, which dropped the Bischon, Candy. All the dogs were barking in panic, but the coyote did not run away frightened. It did back away and continued looking at Lora. She called the children inside and set off the house alarm hoping to frighten the predator off. It finally left. Later, in May, her father-in-law, Jimmy Wright, was doing some work around the property and saw the coyote, perhaps the same one. Lora said the coyote bit Candy in the hindquarters and also around her neck. Dr. Daniel Parks, veterinarian who has the mobile vet service, went to pickup and treat the injured dog. She is Ok now but fearful to leave her doghouse. You may have read an article in mid-May concerning children near Los Angeles being bitten by coyotes. The animals have become more bold as development intrudes into what was once their territory. A small girl was grabbed by the head and dragged away by a coyote until the child's mother scared it off.
