A coyote attacked a dog in the village of Quinhagak, Alaska, and was shot by residents. The animal was later found to have rabies, prompting the community to invite a veterinarian to vaccinate all dogs in the area. The decision to allow the vet into the village during the COVID-19 pandemic was not taken lightly, as Quinhagak has strict travel restrictions in place. The incident highlights the danger posed by predators entering towns due to a decline in caribou populations.
