#3 The mangy mongrel...

Now just a darned minute here! He might have been rabid, but I doubt he had mange. As for the "mongrel," is there any indication this was a coy-dog? Wild canines get almost as much bad press as the joooooos.

Seriously, they need to catch and kill that coyote. I'd like to spare the brave boy rabies shots if possible.

What the heck is he doing in Canada, anyway. I don't think the establishment there supports the idea of defend yourself, let alone saving someone else. Why, that's vigilanteism. He needs to move to Texas or Georgia or someplace like that.

#4 The pack was behind our house last night and went off twice in about 1/2 hour.

We're near an old folks' home and the sirens are perfect pitch.

#5 Under their thick mat of fur, coyotes are quite slim. That's why they run away at first sight of humans. Unfortunately, they can breed with some types of domestic dogs, which yields a hybrid creature that can be aggressive.

#6 My uncle told me a story about the time they had a coyote in their subdivision near Denver years ago: he inquired with the local gendarmerie regarding regulations governing the use of firearms in the subdivision vs wildlife.

He was advised that "any bullet leaving his property must be traveling in the same speed and direction as the coyote".

(i.e., make sure you don't miss...)

#7 One of em dragged off a poodle in a neighborhood up the street from us, and we live in Chicago. Had the squeamish squealing. Nature can be like that.
