Chicago Animal Care and Control safely got the coyote into a van. But before that, it was an unsuspecting pedestrian who came across it first.

"I was just walking by in the neighborhood and I noticed that dog over there staring something down," witness Miguel Castellanos said. "I noticed something growling at me."
