This is my bobcat or more likely a coyote story which I have relayed before on TOTV a couple of years ago......

I walked outside one early morning about 5:00 am to bring the trash to the curb. A very quick animal (did not look like a dog) came running very fast right in front of me ran between my house and my neighbor's home. Within 5 to 10 seconds, I heard what sounded like a small dog screaming out in pain. That scream lasted only a few of seconds then complete silence. Ever since that incident, I'm very careful when going outside when it is dark. It was a very chilling experience. I felt so sorry for the poor little dog and his/her owner.
