I know my environment and wildlife nearby. Now that being said if I lived somewhere else I would probably do something different. |
Dogs sitting out in the backyards that their owners think they cannot get out of are sitting ducks for coyotes, and therefore easy meals in residential areas. Lots more for them to eat in the neighborhoods and cities than out in the country.

There are two members here on YT who live in residential areas of New England and Beverly Hills, CA who lost their tiny Yorkies to coyotes. The man in Beverly Hills was walking his Yorkie on a leash when the coyote snatched the poor little thing.
I came face to face with a coyote in the parking lot of my college campus in CA.
We even had a bear wander into a major shopping center here. |
Even Jessica Simpson's maltipoo Dasiy was snatched by a coyote when she was walking her in LA.
