RANCHO PALO VERDES, CA — The video of a mean coyote going after a tiny dog in the area could have been a lot more disturbing than it is — the dog's sounds are downright unnerving.

But he was a feisty little guy as the coyote went into attack mode, as shown on the Neighbors app, and the pooch in Palos Verdes got away by a hair.

Apparently, this wasn't the only neighborhood dog that got the bejeesuz scared out of it by a coyote.
