A person I know in Arizons lost 2 of her 3 Pomeranians to Coyotes!! They left them out to run, no fenced in yard...They were with them though. The dogs ran to go around the house and coyotes got the 2 females. they were 1 and 3 years old. They have the 1 year olds brother left. I'm never going to Arizona!!!!
