HAVERHILL - A 9-year-old Atkinson girl was bitten by a coyote as she played with a friend in the friend's yard in Haverhill.
Alex Cazmay told her mother after the attack Monday morning that she thought the animal that was biting her from behind was a dog and turned around and reached out to the animal so it could sniff her.
It wasn't a dog, her mother Brianne Cazmay told The Eagle-Tribune, but a coyote that also bit her daughter on the hands and arms before walking off.
