My 15 yr old daughter has a coydog, Ursa, that we rescued for her last Christmas. We didn't know she was 1/2 coyote until after adopting her. She is extremely timid! She weighs about 35 lbs. I did some research after I found out about her, and from what I've read, the largest males don't get more than around 45 lbs. Maybe you saw a wolf? They are generally the size of a german shepherd but with much longer-lankier legs.
Creepy if they really get that big in your area! We have them all over my neighborhood too, but they are scared of people and you rarely see them while the Texas sun is still out!

Coyote Update:
A) I'm in San Francisco, we do not have Wolves here, just very BIG (but skinny) long-legged Coyotes
B) Fairly sure that Coyotes & Wolves do not stake out the exact same territory anyway (Coyotes are afraid of Wolves)...
C) This pack's den is only about 500 yards from my house, up on uninhabited San Bruno Mountain -- I saw it once while hiking up there in broad daylight with the dogs!
D) Haven't had any more encounters since last week, but as it's getting darker & darker at 5:30 AM with each passing day, I am wearing my street legal Stun Baton to the bus stop -- I feel like a FOOL, but "better safe than sorry".

If you report the den some places will have the wildlife officers haze them until they decide to leave. Especially if they are becoming accustomed to humans. Might be worth a phone call or dropping by an office.

We used to have a COUGAR in our Neighborhood -- Went through every imaginable City, then County and finally State agency, but none would lift a FINGER In the end I managed to find one responsible guy in the Regional Parks system ... He deployed his team with a flatbed truck & zoo cage, darted the lion, and re-located him down in a large wildlife preserve a good 30 to 40 miles south of SF Getting someone to do anything about Coyotes is pretty much NOT gonna happen here (which I don't really even mind, so long as they aren't actually menacing people).
