Neighbor’s Dog Killed By Coyote.

Neighbor right on the end of our cul de sac (facing the golf course) had their pretty old cocker spaniel attacked and killed. They are a wreck and so am I. I babysat that dog and she was so sweet. Its like we have a loss in the cul de sac family. My day is wrecked and the neighbors are just a mess. So hard...idk why I put it here, just had to talk about it somewhere.

 

That happened to my neighbors dog. That's so sad. In Ohio, as long as you have a hunting permit, there’s no laws as to when you can shoot those nasty things. Needless to say many of us would fire if on our property. It’s sad and all because technically they were living here first, but survival of the fittest.

 

We never know when things like this will hit us hard. I'm sorry you are all going through that. Did it happen during the day or do they keep the dog outside at night?

 

That's heartbreaking, and must be devastating to your neighbors

 

Awwww so sorry to hear.

It was 7:30 am when letting her out to pee. She visits the neighbors house for her morning treat and the coyote got her between the two houses I guess and before the owner could intervene. I'm sure the owner wasn't paying a lot of attention, who would imagine something like that happening so quickly?

 

I am so sorry for your and your neighbors I live in Maine and I worry about other animals getting my dogs. I did put a fence and flood lights up to help but there is still a risk! My thoughts are with you all.

 

We had a neighbor who had a motion sensor sprinkler that would drench whatever came in the yard lol.

Oh goodness, so sad. We live in a fairly populated area but on the edge of some forest areas. There are occasionally mountain lion sightings here so I'm always a little paranoid about that. So sorry for you and your neighbor.

 

Happens all the time here. I live in the middle of nowhere, so we have coyotes, wolves, and mountain lions. I’ve lost plenty of chickens and a few cattle. This is why we hunt

 

So sorry to hear it. I'm in California and a coyote got one of my mom's cats too. Now where I live we have to also worry about mountain lions, besides coyotes. My cat is strictly indoors, although she is always trying to sneak out. That's her as my avitar.

 

We have coyote packs near us. At night they will sing to one another and it sounds like a pack of banshees. I have 2 dachshunds, both seniors. My older one, Liebeschen, (15) was caught trotting right over to a coyote to greet him. Luckily I was right there and saw what was happening. I grabbed the dog and tried to scare the 'yote off, but he just stood there staring me down.

I would note though that if you're in a neighborhood, you don't want to be wildly shooting at an animal because you could end up shooting your own dog or a neighbor. There was that unfortunate case relatively recently where there was that road behind a firing range and a kid got fatally struck in the back seat.

 

We had one that predictably came thru our yard every day at about the same time. I was out in the garden one day (36" fence all the way around) and I lost track of time. My Yorkie was on the other side of the fence. She spotted the coyote and took off after him. Thankfully I saw her as she was old and deaf at that point. Needless to say I hurdled the fence and took off screaming like a banshee. I probably scared the poor thing to death because I had never seen him move that fast. Tehya was not allowed outside at that time anymore.

 

Coyotes are nothing to mess with, I am sorry this happened to your neighbors dog, it is very heartbreaking.

 

Sorry about your neighbors dog. It is sad

They aren't "nasty" animals as I see it. It is sad when something like this happens but happen it does. Its up to us to protect our own. Sometimes things just happen but we can't blame the wild animal. That doesn't mean I don't feel for the poor dog, I do! Sorry, but this just hits a sore spot for me.
Again so sorry about the poor dog

 

We recently had the first wolves (extinct here for years) enter the country from the east.

Years and years efforts were done to "get them back".Now they are back, plans are made to shoot them cause they kill sheep aso?????

Past winter a lot of deer, horses and cattle died in another "nature reserve" what in fact is a closed aerea.

"Nature" is something completely fake here.

 

Oh no that is so sad, we had a bad coyote problem a few years back but most of the land near me is now taken up by houses they don't come around as much I had to encounters, walked out my back door and came face to face with one and a cat in its mouth, I backed up slowly and went back in the house even though they are as afraid of us as we are of them, my second time was driving down my street I had to stop one was in the middle of the road again with a cat in its mouth we no longer have stray cats

 

I’m so sorry! Heartbreaking.

 

I live in a city and I just saw a coyote a hundred yards or so from a main road in daytime (ninety-nine percent sure coyote, based on appearance, behavior, silence). Where I work we’ve had clients lose dogs to coyotes, had one that didn’t die but had to go to emergency and saw us the next day. Puncture wounds both sides of her body; coyote had her in its mouth. She was grabbed while her owner was in the yard with her. If there are coyotes in your area, and unless you’re in HawaiI there are, don’t let your small dog out in your yard at dusk or dawn unless you’re right next to them. I certainly don’t want the coyotes eliminated, but people need to know and be careful.

 

cocker spaniel is still too small for a coyote? But they gotta weigh almost the same size right? I doubt a coyote could kill a Rottweiler or a German Shepherd or even a fully grown Labrador retriever.

 

The problem with Coyotes is their range has been spreading over the years, with them being an opportunistic predator most small animals aren't safe. Even some larger dogs are in danger if there's more then one coyote around hunting. With their range expanding into more urban areas they are also loosing their fear of man, just like bears trash cans are associated with food for them.

I've encountered, and chased off, one that was almost the same height as the husky it was stalking, her barking and my yelling at it made it decide to turn and run off, it might have only been 30lbs at most but it was a tall male. The problem is they run in pairs or packs, so when they hunt they aren't alone.

 

I forgot all about this, but it reminds me about a personal encounter with a coyote.

I was out early in the morning down at my neighborhood pond, and a coyote walked right next to be on the trail, it was kinda scary!
Fortunately, it didn't want me, but I didn't make a sound or hardly move, it just trotted away.

 

We have had a major drop of strat cats and increase in missing cats in our town due to foxes. They have come right into the main part of the city and made it home. So yeah, it happens :/

Do they attack humans ?

 

Heartbreaking, I’m so sorry. I had one try to get my small dog while I was walking her on a leash! And I watched a pack tear my moms cat apart, so devastating! Hugs to you and the family.

 

Do they attack humans ?

I wouldn't say that often, we're much larger than they are and they usually ignore humans.

 

Do they attack humans ?

Not normally but I read (or watched) a story about someone in the NE US getting attacked by a pack of coyotes that were bigger and more aggressive. Its suspected they were interbred with wolves. I don't think pure coyotes would, but cross breeds? It wouldnt surprise me. But keep in mind, cross breeding doesn't happen except in the most desperate of circumstances like near extinction.

We have hybrids up here in NE Arizona....they are a lot more aggressive and fearless.

Okay. Most dangerous wildlife here is a marine fish that occures at our shores when it is hot weather (they sting when you put your foot on them) and a kind of viper-snake that is so extremely rare (and non agressive) that I've only seen it twice in my life.

Sooooo "living on the edge" here !!!

We lived in Tucson for awhile, I don't think there were wolves that far south, but saw coyotes all the time in our large neighborhood going after trash cans. My husband even hit one with his car at dawn. They were very shy and ran off when confronted.
Are the breeding with wolves up there? That's terrible.

 

A couple of months ago my brother ( he is nine so 4ft something) was taking out the trash when he came inside screaming cause he said there was a brown dog as tall as him next to the driveway. My dad and I grabbed some flashlights and went out to see if we could see it. All that happened was right after we came out we heard something BIG running through the woods and we found a print that was as big as my palm(my hands are pretty big) so we checked the chicken coops and thankfully he wasn’t digging in there but he digs in our neighbors. And the funny part was that I was letting the dogs out and my lab/Irish wolfhound would not go outside at all! But the pointer was like what ever I’ll just go mark up everything! Lol sorry you lost your what sounds like your neighborhood mascot.

Yeah the suburban ones seem shyer. Yes, there were packs a couple of years ago that were crossbreeding, even the forestry department said shoot if you have to. It’s a sad situation in my opinion...obviously you don’t want your pets or children in danger but really they have no where to go anymore, just like any other animal. We never shot one but at dusk and dawn we would do warning shots to deter them before they would show up.

Chupacabra does exist! . And thanks, yeah, she kinda was, along with my own dog that has to go visit the neighbors. Its really sad not to see her walk by with her owners anymore.

It scares the heck out of me. Although my dog is slightly bigger and looks like a minI wolf, hes absolutely gentle and goes out on an aerial line (we have no fence), to do his business, so he couldnt even run away if he were attacked.

If he goes out at dawn or dusk (or night), I don't take my eyes off him.

Some people here will buy coyote urine so that the territory is already “taken” in hopes to keep them away. My fear would be the pack wanting to challenge that and it would attract them, I don’t know.

Who (and how) collects coyote urine?????

"What's your profession? Oh I am a ordinary nine to five Coyote-urine-collector"??????

I don't think we have “packs” persay, but we are a deer friendly neighborhood and hunting season pushes the wildlife off the hills (I'm not against hunting, its necessary), but that's the downside. Our neighborhood is even designed to allow greenways for deer to walk through from place to place. We have plenty of jack rabbits too, which is why, I'm sure, the coyotes wander in. Ive had as many as four rabbits lazing and eating in my backyard. Sure haven't seen any lately tho...I wonder why, hmmm....lol
