Wow! I love this new phone! Can actually view posts! Why people do not least their pets s beyond me! That could have ended very badly! I always carry a gun outside, as we may have a rabies outbreak here. Glad that boy survived!

In Manitoba, a coyote grabbed, killed and took off with a small dog a week or so ago. Up here a fox attacked 2 dogs and bit the owner. Wildlife us so unpredictable!

Holy moly!
I few years ago my daughter and I were walking up around the university grounds here in town (a pretty wilderness-y area) with her two Border Terriers and we had just re-leashed them when we spotted a mountain lion crossing the path up ahead. Found out later that it was a well-known mountain lion spot.

Saw the video too. Frightening! Yes very lucky dog. though very poor little dog who was grabbed and killed by a koyote.
I didn't know you had such dangers there. Well we have poisonous snakes, but they mostly flee if they can. We have lots of roaming dogs, some of which can be agressive. But coyotes, foxes, lions no.
Though more in the South of the country in certain regions of the Pantanal they have foxes and also jaguars. They are normally shy and avoid people. But a few years ago a 5 or 6 years old child was snapped and eaten by a Jaguar.

In the West Cougars have been know to attack people. Common in the Hills around LA.
In the North East coyotes have bred with Wolves and they have created issues with humans.
I think most States here have some sort of critter issue even the big cities like Chicago with Coyotes.
Snakes are common is all States but the venomous ones are easy to identify.........if you know snakes.
For me, looking at a Copperhead and a Corn snake is like looking at a Bull dog and a Collie.
Black Bears are not a rare sighting in Missouri. Mountain lions spotter in Missouri are generally thought to be young males tossed out of home territory when they mature.
My dog is terrified of coyotes and won't go outdoors if he hears them howling. His fear has intensified over the years.
Our big English shepherd at 80 lbs and fully mature was unafraid and kept our farmstead free of coyotes. He would keep Coyotes away from the buildings and close up pastures. Now that we no longer have that dog, coyotes come closer.
We use a gun and shoot around any that we see to drive them off.
Our nearest neighbor hired a fellow to shoot coyotes a few years ago. One winter they removed 36.
There are still plenty.

What I wondered was, if it would be possible to adopt and train such a coyote or one of the hybrids, if it were very young puppy. There would be an immense lack of thousands and thousands of years of relationship with humans.
I don't mean with this, that people shoukdn't defend themselves, their dogs and other animals against them where it is necessary. Just asked myself, because wolfs and dogs began like this too, as each one had advantages from the other.
Don't misunderstand me: I'm not saying we should try to train every coyote, but I wonder if such an experiment coul dhave a chance.
