Arvada police are investigating whether a possible stray dog or a coyote bit a 16-year-old girl during the weekend.
The teenager was walking her heeler mix in the area of 86th Parkway and Simms Street, when either a "mangy-looking dog" or a coyote approached her and bit her on the forearm, according to a news release form the Arvada Police Department.
The girl's dog attacked the animal that bit her, causing it to release her arm and run away.
She described the animal as medium sized, light brown and grayish in color, and very thin with a bushy tail.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife and Arvada's Animal Management Office are also investigating the incident.
While officials have not confirmed it was a coyote that bit the teenager, coyote awareness signs are being posted in the area.
