Coyotes

[Catherine]

That is so sad about the little dog. Coyotes have been getting more aggressive lately. There have been other incidents in other cities.

Lack of food might be an explanation. There are less rabbits and other animals around so coyotes might need to look for other food sources.

You are right to be concerned about Suzy's safety. I know coyotes are out at night so walking a dog at night would be risky. Having a dog off leash isn't good either. Wooded areas or walks along river banks would be risky.

You could walk Suzy around noon on a city street and it should be safe.

How many coyotes do they think they have in your area.
