For sure. We have coyotes in our city. In fact my favourite park to walk the boys in has several coyote warning signs. They have denned in a certain section of the park. The standard rule is not to walk through there at dawn or nightfall, how-ever coyotes have adapted and will also hunt mid-day.
I have told this story before, but one day at around 8 30 or 9 am so not daybreak, I was training my big boy Magic off lead in the park, and yes away from their denning area. Now he weighed 120 lbs and stands 30 inches at the shoulder. There were 3 coyotes circling our training area
I saw them, when Magic had gone out for a retrieve and recall. Thank God he did not see them! I called him back and immediately put the leash on him. And used the panic button on my car keys. The loud sound drove the coyotes away.
So to my mind obviously 3 coyotes which were 1/4 the size of Magic, thought that they could take him and me
It was a very scarey time for me.
God help me if I had Razzle out there!
