We used to live on 2 1/2 acres in the AZ desert with lots of coyotes around. Once in broad daylight with me sitting on the porch one came into the yard just a few feet away and started eating something I had put out for the dog we had then. The dog went up to it and it scared the dog off and she was as big as the coyote. She was at least 50 pounds as she was half Sharpei and half Pitt Bull. She didn't have a mean bone in her body, we'd raised her to be a pet not a fighter. The coyotes ate alot of our neighbors cats as well from what we heard. I don't think they'd think twice about snapping up a little Yorkie. |
