A New Jersey housekeeper was attacked by a coyote Monday afternoon while she was outside with the family's golden retriever, according to surveillance video that captured the incident. The victim, 31, was in the backyard of a home on Woodcrest Drive in Woodcliff Lake that connects to a nature preserve when the animal pounced on her, wounding her shoulder, arm, leg and her back, according to the video. The homeowner can then be seen on the video running outside to fight off the coyote, which fled after also attacking the family's dog. The dog is fine, but the housekeeper will undergo treatment for rabies exposure as a precaution, the homeowners told New York ABC affiliate station WABC. It's not known if the coyote is rabid since it hasn't been caught. The New Jersey Department of Environmen
