I can't believe you all are scared of coyotes lol. I used to have one, Daringer and let me tell you they are VERY skittish/ afraid of humans. They pretty much wouldn't hurt a fly. Our wild coyotes in California would go right up to me, follow me home almost every night and EVEN try to get me to play with them by "dancing". If anyone has been around wolves/coyotes you will know what this means. Now I would trust a coyote ANY day over a wolf though! Matthew was a HUGE handful and his momma was the alpha, and very bossy. And they have heir wild streak in them even if bred and raised in captivity as a puppy....but I would say more dstructive than anything. But then again I am not scared of wild wolves either and have been around them a gazillian times too. But I guess that's just the person I am. I think they know you have a certain respect for them as a creature on this planet and they can see that.


But I do agree about the no leash thing, although I think a dog should always be on a leash unless they are in dog park.
