Swerve Magazine: Gertie is lucky to be alive. The tiny, three-pound Yorkshire terrier is recovering from multiple puncture wounds after being snatched from her Briar Hill front yard by a coyote a few weeks ago. Fortunately for Gertie, her owner saw the attack and chased the coyote down the street and around the corner, before the animal finally dropped the dog and went off to find lunch elsewhere.
