We don’t have coyotes. We have dingoes, which are to dog as is a coyote or wolf.
Not seen in cities and illegal to have as pets. They will kill a child or even a weak adult.
From time to time there will be a news article where idiot parents have left their toddle alone with their part dingo pet dog. Child is killed and of course parents are a bit upset.
I understand that all dogs are essentially scavengers and opportunistic predators.
Good job to that kid.
