Good to know. I've seen a buck (in rutting season) charge an 85-lb dog, but we've never had *any* trouble out of the coyotes...

Good discussion on the Perry situation.

Out jogging with lab and coyote tries to take easy meal. Totally plausible. This is actually a fairly common behavior among coyote. The animal services officers I work with call it supper on a string.

Really? A Texas Coyote will take on a dog the size of a lab near a human?
I've lived in Texas a long time and most Coyote's that I've seen are pretty skittish and probably don't weigh as much as a lab...
Serious question. I've never had any fear of coyotes... If one was hanging about, I'd think something was wrong (rabies).

Dinner on a string? A yorkie maybe...

That's good.. If you're a coyote.
