Kicker - Open invitation?

MYRNA BROWN, HOST: The problem with doggy doors is that doggies are not the only things that can walk through them.

Los Angeles resident Julie Levine said her dogs woke her up in the middle of night barking like crazy.

She told television station KABC:

LEVINE: Then when the dogs realized they caught the scent - because they are Beagles, they have incredible noses and went nuts.

After all the commotion, she decided to check the footage on her security camera. And that’s when she saw a different kind of canine—a large coyote.

Footage showed him jumping over a wall and following a scent trail through the doggy door. But it didn’t take long for him to bolt back out of the house, likely chased away by Levine’s barking Beagles!

She said the coyote “probably went down the hall, saw what he was up against,” and “skedaddled out of there.” Who knew beagles could be so scary?!
