| There are rampant coyote attacks lately in southern Cali, particularly Orange County. Several specific attacks on yorkies documented. It's really sad. You can't be too careful.

| We live in Hopewell, Illinois in with trees all around us. We do have a large fenced in yard but Amy is never out there alone. We have coyotes and fox and a lot of other 4 legged animals all around us. Can hear the coyotes at night in the summer with the windows open. I am glad she got her little dog out of his mouth but feel very bad for the one that didn't. Makes me think of getting a tazer to take with me when I or my husband has her outside in the night or the daytime. R.I.P. little one. |

| That's too scary! Our poor dogs are like sitting ducks at times. Thanks for the reminder to watch them like crazy.

| Apparently they have no plan to try to control the population? It sounds as though they have just accepted that they have to live with them. If the coyotes have plenty to eat why are they attacking little dogs? I don't think mating season has anything to do with it. I am surrounded by coyotes but we never have even farm animals attacked partly because there are enough natural food sources that they don't bother farm or domestic animals. Just sounds like a strange situation to me. Poor Max. He did look traumatized. |

| They aren't getting plenty to eat. Thats why they are coming for your dogs. Otherwise they would be in the woods getting food. |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I didn't see the story, thanks for posting it. I have seen coyotes at the property line of my back yard in suburban Chicago. I will not take my 3 out alone as I could never get all 3 gathered up quickly if necessary. I am definitely not letting them out of my sight outside. So scary. I feel so bad for the poor babies.

| Here in rural NH we have coyotes also. Yesterday, I was doing yard work, and 10 month old Tyrone, who was on a lead started barking furiously at the woods in my backyard. Through the trees I could see there was a huge lone coyote looking at us for a good minute or two, then he slowly skulked away. I have worried about the hawks that hunt the fields around here, so always keep a close eye on him....have a pen with net roof....but that's the end of his naps on the sunny back steps. Very scary..... |

| We have them around us too... Two weeks ago my senior aunt lost both her little dogs to Coyotes. She had her carbon monoxide detector go off in the middle of the night. The dogs were barking and her husband has a prosthetic leg so she was freaked out and wanted to get everyone out. She put the dogs out (it was 3 am and her yard isn't fenced) and went to help her husband get out of bed. She heard her dogs bark and by the time she got her shoes on and stuff, they were gone......one of the bodies was found in the field behind her but not the other...so very very sad..I have been warned not to walk Wallee around the park here after dark as there are some down in the ravine so I NEVER go near there after the sun goes down. I would just die if anything ever happened to my little boy. |

YT Addict | They had a story on the Chicago news last night about a adorable little yorkie who was attacked and killed by a stray pit bull. The yorkie's owner had her on a leash but it all happened so fast she couldn't stop it. These poor little dogs are so vulnerable to predators.
