A family from Brooks, Alta., says their daughter is lucky to have avoided more serious injuries after she was attacked and bitten several times by a coyote.
The Nyberg family was on the road at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 26 when they stopped near Suffield to let their 10-year-old daughter Hailey go the bathroom.
When the girl was away from her parents, a coyote approached her and snapped its jaws on her leg.
"There was something that ran towards me," Hailey told CTV News. "I thought it was a dog, but it was a coyote.
"I screamed as loud as I could – (it) tried to drag me into the field."
Hailey's father and mother came to help and managed to scare the animal away, but not before Hailey received a number of bites.
