Yeah, coyotes is a great idea! You know, I was walking home from school and i saw a sign with a small black fluffy chihuahua mix, the sign said "Found Dog. Found being attacked by a coyote, saved." And the other day I saw a coyote puppy, and one time my mom saw a coyote and walked up to pet it but then my dad said that it was a coyote, even though it looked like a dog, so coyotes are a realistic threat.
The other night we went down to feed the horses. It was still light outside and the coyotes were already yipping!
That night I heard them around 1-2am and they sounded like they were in a pack running around. The dogs were barking all around the neighborhood (including ours). I never heard them so loud before. And so close to houses with dogs. They must be getting brave or someone is building in their territory and pushing them from their home. *poor animals*
