Surveillance video captured the moment a young family had a close encounter with a bold coyote at their home in Portland, Oregon, on October 12.
Charlie Schmidt was spending a Saturday working his yard, with his children and their neighbor, when the animal appeared.
His daughter can then be heard calling “Dad, there’s a coyote,” as the animal runs after her.
A startled Schmidt responds, yelling, “Holy s***!”, while the little girl keeps her cool, and jumps onto a table. Credit: Charlie Schmidt via Storyful
