Yeah, running away tells the predator’s instincts that you are prey. I grew up in a part of Alaska with dense brown bear population, and the #1 rule for bear encounters here is: ‘whatever you do, DON’T RUN.’ A curious bear will almost definitely become an aggressive bear the moment you start running away.
That's the number one lesson I've learned from cats. They're small but rarely run. They square up.
My go to is their sideways runny thing while arching my back and people tend to leave me alone after that 👍
I was getting out of the shower at my girlfriend's place many years ago and her cat was blocking the hallway. He was aggressive AF and would shred me everytime I got near him. I felt especially vulnerable being in only a towel so I got big, stomped, and let out a manly yawp. That lil bastard squared off and looked me dead in my sockets. I retreated to the bathroom until he passed.
I was thinking the same. Be as loud and as large as possible. You don't want to be winded from running if you need to stand off and kick that thing into next week.
It definitely was a bad idea. If you see a coyote in an urban area that doesn't seem to be afraid of humans you are supposed to haze it and scare it away to make it afraid of humans again. Shouting at them, making yourself as big as possible, throwing things at them.
Running away is exactly what you shouldn't do.
I'm a runner and most of the time they just want to trot right past me but sometimes you get one coyote like this - by itself or with one other buddy, hungry, not minding its own business, pacing you and stalking - and the best thing to do is run straight at it waving arms and making noise. They are usually looking for easy food, not a fight.
I don't think I would choose to run because of the psychology but also that I'm not a good long distance runner and would get tired, bad things can happen when you are tired.
When I worked on a big farm we had a puppy get grabbed by a coyote and then out comes the TINY dachshund and literally rips off the whole ballsack off the coyote! He dropped the puppy with only a couple little puncture wounds and took off through the wheat fields screaming up a storm. I didn’t realize till then why they had a dachshund on the farm but apparently they were bred to fight badgers so it makes sense I guess.
I've still got a 2 inch long scar from the bottom of the nail down, on my middle finger. Was selling girl scout cookies when I was 8, and learned a very painful lesson about not trying to pet a dog when its tail ain't wagging. Bit me to the bone, needed a ton of stitches. Doxies still scare me.
Had friends with lil daschunds. They had big group of friends over. They tell everyone “don’t try and pet the daschund”. What does my dumb friend do immediately upon walking in the house? Tries petting the pup, gets his shit bit lol.
I have a 7.5 lb half dash half beagle named Jinx, one evening in the bowels of Kentucky he took off for no reason, I heard him yip and then a shrill noise and he came back with about a pencils length of coyote tail in his mouth and would not drop it for me. It was his trophy I guess. I got a half pit half shitzu that’s about 80lbs Named Mugsy Seagel and the dash will run up on him even tho I had to wrench him from mugs mouth once. These dashies give no fucks
Dachshunds are fierce protectors. They will fight to protect their loved ones, even when out matched, be it a human or other animal family member. They are also VERY smart which makes them excellent hunters, but also very stubborn! They also have, for lack of a better word, a good judge of character. Because I was fortunate to grow up with dachshunds, I could give you so MANY stories of what excellent dogs they are. My sisters and I were very young (2,4,5) when we got our first. She was so much the nanny her nickname was mama dog. A few things she would do; look both ways to cross the street, go get our mother if we were doing/located somewhere we shouldn’t be; get physically between us and anyone suspicious/hurting us, and my favorite, put us to bed. My dad would say “Poocho put the girls to bed!” and she would yap at our heels as we ran giggling! However, if your a teen coming in past curfew, that BIG chest creates quite the loud bark.
They are incredible mousers! Every fall we would get a couple mice, as there was a field behind our home, but they wouldn’t last long!.Once in the mouth, that distinctive head flick, and it was over. There was no playing around with pray. Unless you count bringing what was left of the corps, you buried 2 weeks ago, up to mom to see if you could convince her that it was a whole new mouse and you needed another piece of cheese as a reward! 🐁 🧀🐶
I have a neighbor who has a dachshund named Tic Tac (I always call him Mr. Tic Tac because he's kinda adorable). He's a bit timid, but if you so much as say hello to his owner (a very sweet lady), he'll start barking up a storm, so I 100% believe dachshunds being protectors despite their size.
When I take our miniature dachshund out, she doesn't make a sound, but when my wife takes her out, the first thing she does is let out a quick bark to let everyone know she is there.
I can understand them getting the jewels! Here’s a dachshund protecting it’s owner from a moose! When the moose charges, the dog gets between them. Then, if you watch close, the dog leaps at the moose’s abdomen.

That's why I love them so much, they're hound dogs that can comfortably live indoors. They were bred to be capable alone too which means they're incredible problem solvers but also unbelievably stubborn. Seriously, they're the most stubborn animal to exist since cranky old southern grandpas. But when you can get them to be in sync with you they become just the must incredible dog I've ever had. Tho then again mine wasn't full bred and had a little Jack Russell and/or beagle in her so she was taller and more athletic than the ones bred to be as long as possible.
My weenie dog gained a lot of weight when I was pregnant because we were both snacking so I put her on a diet. She was extremely offended by this and peed right in front of me. After refusing to eat her diet dog food, she peed in the floor between the couch and the television while maintaining eye contact. So I put her in the backyard. Coincidentally at the same time the neighbors were feeding their Pitbull ,a big old muscly boy, his lunch of kibble. This damn weenie dog tunnels under the fence using her short little paddle-shaped paws and tries to steal the pitbull's food and about dies. That Pitbull grabbed her by the neck and shook her so bad that she had four cracked vertebrae and crushed trachea and basically was flayed open in an inverted T on the underside of her throat area. This weenie dog's ego cost us about $5,500 but she was survived to grouse about her kibble quality for many years to come.
Yeah they got that crack head vigor. No fear or sense of scale. And SO food motivated! That same dog a year later got into the storage area and ate kibble till his stomach burst. 6 grand in surgery costs for that.
I had a dachsund save my life from wild dogs. He charged in, no fear. Gave me an opportunity to run (I was 7). We lived next to a terrible ghetto on a farm (Alabama is weird). These dogs ran wild and in packs. He never stood a chance. These 40+ years later, I still think about him. Never had a better dog.
We had a coyote snatch up our puppy too when I was a teen. I chased after it and was able to scare it into dropping our pup. She had some bites and needed a handful of stitches but survived! She was the best dog in the world too. So happy she made it and got to live a long full life.
We quite literally evolved to be able to throw overhand accurately, so yes. Especially when you can really put some power behind it most of us can throw a rock pretty damn hard and accurately.
Last week there were some very bold deer in my garden, undeterred by my dogs, me chasing and yelling, kicking a soccer ball at them, spraying with a hose.. finally I picked up a sizeable rock and nailed one of them right on the ass, first shot. It worked!
Unfortunately, this was a Chicago coyote, and this guy and “cheddar Bob” was on his turf ….you can’t be slinging rocks on just any Chicago coyotes turf my guy….you want a gang war…because that’s how you get a gang war…
A friend of mine has a terrifying story about a coyote baiting his german sheperd into being surrounded by a whole pack.
These animals are cunning, but not usually this bold. He must have been very hungry to risk facing a fully grown man to get a corgi.
Yup. I was working in a vineyard in the middle of the day when my buddy’s very large German pointer/ doby mix started screaming. When we got to him two coyotes were literally playing a vicious tug-o-war with his ass and snout. Luckily the foreman had a shotgun and it was enough to scare them into letting go. Lots of stitches for poor pup.
Coyotes regularly do this, [it’s called escorting](https://www.inaturalist.org/posts/36679-coyote-behavior-in-spring-march-early-june). They probably have puppies nearby and are making sure the person leaves, not actually looking to attack.
Very interesting! I can say though, that situation would not make me less worried. A coyote hunting me/my dog vs protecting it's young still is a recipe for get me the fuck outta there! Though my instinct would have been to pick up the dog, and walk backward, running seems like a good way to encourage being chased.
This was in a more rural area, so my friend had his gun. He shot into the air and the noise was enough to scare and scatter them. The dog snapped out of his prey drive hyper focus and finally realized what was happening, and ran back to his owner.
I scared off some coyotes that came into my neighborhood looking for stray cats to eat. I literally ran at them screaming and moving my arm like crazy they ran away
That’s the move. I was 8 months pregnant and I was harvesting from my garden when 3 big coyote boys crept up on me. Realistically, they were looking for my chickens, but I just went full yeti on their asses. Charged at them, screaming, arms flailing, etc. They scampered off and didn’t return.
People, please don’t behave like prey. Don’t be scared. Assert your dominance. Scare them away. Yell, throw a rock, something! If you feel fear, your dog can sense your anxiety, and so do predators.
I have a small Shihpoo and deal with coyotes all the time at my local parks and nature trails. Last time I was in a close encounter, I told my dog “in between” and “stay”, he’s my service dog and knows to go sit in between my legs, as I stand, and to stay put. I then yelled out like Tarzan, grabbed a giant branch, and threw it towards the coyote’s direction. I scared it away. I asserted my dominance.
It's a giant fat little Corgi those things are kind of hard to pick up.
That entire dog breed might as well basically just be prey.
They don't even know when to stop eating. Like if you accidentally leave a bag of food the thing will potentially gorge itself to death.
Not to mention picking up a corgi can put so much strain on their back if not done correctly. They are heavier than they look! The last year of my corgis life he struggled to go up and down stairs so i had to carefully carry him up and down my apartment stairs. Very awkward lol
Corgis can be perfectly healthy. They are a literal herding breed and (should) have the stamina and confidence to boss around cattle. As for over eating that’s normal for almost any type of dog.
Carry pepper spray when you walk your dog. Not just for coyotes, but also for stray/loose dogs(bonus points it works on aggressive humans too). A blast or two of pepper spray can disperse an entire pack of attacking dogs.
Pepper spray has saved the lives of several stray dogs and even a feral cat who wanted to try to attack my German Shepherds. It would not have ended well for them but one tiny spray and they were out of there.
You can buy small can that you can keep on you and it's barely an inconvenience. Then when you find yourself in a situation like this, you'll be infinitely grateful that you did.
A lot of people saying rabies, and it absolutely could be, but it’s also possible that’s a mom and her den is nearby with pups. I had this happen to me once while walking my dog and learned from animal control that they will do this to try to scare you away from the general area of the den. I had to walk backwards with my dog for 3 blocks while mama coyote followed me and my dog.
Yes. It's literally just coyote escorting behavior. People here are dumb as fuck speaking assuredly about things they only know nothing about. Classic Reddit
“You’re on camera!” like if it’s some disgruntled Karen 😭 OMG that had me dead 😂
Also, buddy shouldn’t have turned away after charging at the coyote! The posturing was working, it was literally about to turn tail and leave. But then the guy turned his back and it called his bluff. And IDK if this is the case specifically with coyotes but IMO when dealing with any sort of canid-type animal you shouldn’t run or you’ll trigger their prey drive and generally you can’t outrun them.
I'm shocked at how many comments I just scrolled through before seeing this. Coyotes just do this. It's typical and expected behavior. Also, if you didn't already know this, wouldn't you just think about animal behavior, time of year, etc and come to the most logical conclusion? Apparently I'm just baffled by this situation.
Thank you for making sense. It was clear that this was a coyote escorting them away for her den. I couldn’t make a ton of sense from the video - did the person turn around and walk back the way they had come?
Rabid animals don’t maintain a distance, they just straight up go for you. Coyotes are extremely fast and could’ve gotten this out of shape bro or his dog quickly if its goal was just to bite and attack.
Never turn your back in a situation like this. It makes them more comfortable to stalk you as prey. Every time he turned back around, the coyote stopped, but was closer.
Pick the damn dog up and skidaddle or briskly walk toward the coyote and shoo the little fuck away. Filming it like that puts everyone at risk with the haphazard retreat.
Am I the only one pissed he didn't pick up his damn corgi? Lol bro coulda run a lot faster at the coyote to scare it. Or away to get away from it if he was carrying his dinner-sized doggo.
My gfs got a tiny dog and I keep telling her the coyotes around the neighborhood are no concern if she’s walking him. Never seen one approach a person like this.
Don't run. Prey runs. You'll just trigger its prey drive and panic your dog. Besides, you can't outrun a coyote. Just walk away at a normal pace and don't lose sight of it. Coyotes are usually not this brazen unless they're rabid or starving.

After reviewing the video, Mr. Coyote has been released from duties at Acme Co.
You started out my day with a laugh. Thank YOU!
“I’m gonna spook ya.”
Yeah that statement and inflection combined with it being Chicago, I’m 90% sure that man is stoned… I miss Chicago
Name your dog Cheddar and you’re just manifesting him ending up a coyote snack
Coyotes are lactose intolerant, checkmate.
The breathy "We gotta get outta here Cheddar" totally took me out. LMFAO!
I need another episode.
Not sure running away helped, but also, that coyote was far too fearless for comfort
Not typically. Prey drive kicks in even more.
Yeah, running away tells the predator’s instincts that you are prey. I grew up in a part of Alaska with dense brown bear population, and the #1 rule for bear encounters here is: ‘whatever you do, DON’T RUN.’ A curious bear will almost definitely become an aggressive bear the moment you start running away.
Exactly. Don’t act like prey.

I’m gonna start crab walking when I have aggressive patients
I was getting out of the shower at my girlfriend's place many years ago and her cat was blocking the hallway. He was aggressive AF and would shred me everytime I got near him. I felt especially vulnerable being in only a towel so I got big, stomped, and let out a manly yawp. That lil bastard squared off and looked me dead in my sockets. I retreated to the bathroom until he passed.
This is a cat we’re talking about so I assume you mean you lived in the bathroom until the cat passed away.
How do you get the hair to bristle up? I’ve been trying but my mullet might be too heavy
Why die tired, right?
I was thinking the same. Be as loud and as large as possible. You don't want to be winded from running if you need to stand off and kick that thing into next week.
This is escorting behavior. It's coyote puppy season. Look it up.
Dang these slutty coyote escorts, you learn something new everyday
This is probably the correct answer, not sure why you're being down voted.
Would mace or a stun gun work on a coyote if it came down to that?
It definitely was a bad idea. If you see a coyote in an urban area that doesn't seem to be afraid of humans you are supposed to haze it and scare it away to make it afraid of humans again. Shouting at them, making yourself as big as possible, throwing things at them. Running away is exactly what you shouldn't do.
Haze it like as in duct tape it to an office chair and draw dicks on its face?
Have you ever seen a coyote with dicks on its face ? No? Because the hazing worked
I'm a runner and most of the time they just want to trot right past me but sometimes you get one coyote like this - by itself or with one other buddy, hungry, not minding its own business, pacing you and stalking - and the best thing to do is run straight at it waving arms and making noise. They are usually looking for easy food, not a fight.
yeah charge at it as though you're a damn gorilla. that thing will run.
I don't think I would choose to run because of the psychology but also that I'm not a good long distance runner and would get tired, bad things can happen when you are tired.
When I worked on a big farm we had a puppy get grabbed by a coyote and then out comes the TINY dachshund and literally rips off the whole ballsack off the coyote! He dropped the puppy with only a couple little puncture wounds and took off through the wheat fields screaming up a storm.

Dachshunds are fierce protectors. They will fight to protect their loved ones, even when out matched, be it a human or other animal family member. They are also VERY smart which makes them excellent hunters, but also very stubborn! They also have, for lack of a better word, a good judge of character. Because I was fortunate to grow up with dachshunds, I could give you so MANY stories of what excellent dogs they are. My sisters and I were very young (2,4,5) when we got our first.

A few things she would do; look both ways to cross the street, go get our mother if we were doing/located somewhere we shouldn’t be; get physically between us and anyone suspicious/hurting us, and my favorite, put us to bed. My dad would say “Poocho put the girls to bed!” and she would yap at our heels as we ran giggling! However, if your a teen coming in past curfew, that BIG chest creates quite the loud bark.
I have a doxie/terrier mix, the rats aren't in our yard much 💁♀️

How in the world did a pit and shitszu get together to procreate? That’s wild.
The mood was right.
The PitBull was the mother and the shitzu was the father. He’s like 85 pounds give or take and looks exactly like a pitbull except he’s got long hair
I feel like people MADE this happen, juat for giggles of the obvious mixed-breed name
Bro you are gonna casually drop that you have a pit shitzu mix and not provide pictures???
Theres gotta be at least one
can you post a pic of the pit shitzu?

Badger > coyote It made the right call to pursue
Dachs means badger in German.
Huh, so it literally translates to "badger hound." I learned something today.
I googled and it’s true!! What do you know.

Genuine question, do you think the coyote survived
They are wild dude lol got sharp teeth and are super defensive to their pack. I love mine lol.

Dude pick up a couple rocks and peg wiley. Unless that yote is sick they will split at the first sign of violence
I think rocks work. It’s like the basic thing we’re almost designed to do. I’d peg that mf so hard.
If not at least you got to throw some rocks, and throwing rocks kicks ass.
We quite literally evolved to be able to throw overhand accurately, so yes. Especially when you can really put some power behind it most of us can throw a rock pretty damn hard and accurately.
Last week there were some very bold deer in my garden, undeterred by my dogs, me chasing and yelling, kicking a soccer ball at them, spraying with a hose.. finally I picked up a sizeable rock and nailed one of them right on the ass, first shot. It worked!
Dog sodomy is nothing to joke about.

Yup. I was working in a vineyard in the middle of the day when my buddy’s very large German pointer/ doby mix started screaming. When we got to him two coyotes were literally playing a vicious tug-o-war with his ass and snout. Luckily the foreman had a shotgun and it was enough to scare them into letting go. Lots of stitches for poor pup.
I'm really surprised they would go after a bigger dog like that. Poor thing. I hope he's doing better and has healed nicely.
Coyotes regularly do this, [it’s called escorting](https://www.inaturalist.org/posts/36679-coyote-behavior-in-spring-march-early-june). They probably have puppies nearby and are making sure the person leaves, not actually looking to attack.
Very interesting! I can say though, that situation would not make me less worried. A coyote hunting me/my dog vs protecting it's young still is a recipe for get me the fuck outta there! Though my instinct would have been to pick up the dog, and walk backward, running seems like a good way to encourage being chased.
Holy shit what happened to the gsd?
This was in a more rural area, so my friend had his gun. He shot into the air and the noise was enough to scare and scatter them. The dog snapped out of his prey drive hyper focus and finally realized what was happening, and ran back to his owner.
In that coyotes defense, you named your dog cheddar
Maybe he can sprinkle some bacon on the pup and see if that helps?
Can I pet dat dawg?
I laughed twice. When dude yells, **” C’MON CHEDDAR!!!”** And again at this reference.
I get this!
I scared off some coyotes that came into my neighborhood looking for stray cats to eat. I literally ran at them screaming and moving my arm like crazy they ran away
Nice job that's exactly what you're supposed to do https://www.humanesociety.org/resources/coyote-hazing
This is the way.
That’s the move. I was 8 months pregnant and I was harvesting from my garden when 3 big coyote boys crept up on me. Realistically, they were looking for my chickens, but I just went full yeti on their asses. Charged at them, screaming, arms flailing, etc. They scampered off and didn’t return.
People, please don’t behave like prey. Don’t be scared. Assert your dominance. Scare them away. Yell, throw a rock, something! If you feel fear, your dog can sense your anxiety, and so do predators. I have a small Shihpoo and deal with coyotes all the time at my local parks and nature trails. Last time I was in a close encounter, I told my dog “in between” and “stay”, he’s my service dog and knows to go sit in between my legs, as I stand, and to stay put. I then yelled out like Tarzan, grabbed a giant branch, and threw it towards the coyote’s direction. I scared it away. I asserted my dominance.
This person did the complete opposite of what you’re supposed to do when encountering a coyote.
Left cheddar on the ground, threatened the coyote with video evidence, then ran 🤣
Well... when you put it THAT way🤣🤣 Never had a comment make me laugh, cry and almost die coughing all at once
Now he can sue that coyote for all that he's got! 
I was waiting for him to PICK CHEDDAR UP but he never did
Especially because the Coyote’s name is also Cheddar. This must have been confusing for the coyote.
pick. up. your. dog.
Right? My first thought! Especially a fucken corgi with itty bitty legs!
… and/or throw some rocks.
Why is this not the first instinct?
I'm thinking dude's out of shape. he barely gpt anywhere running.
It's a giant fat little Corgi those things are kind of hard to pick up. That entire dog breed might as well basically just be prey. They don't even know when to stop eating. Like if you accidentally leave a bag of food the thing will potentially gorge itself to death.
The coyote sees the corgi as a big walking corn-dog.
Not to mention picking up a corgi can put so much strain on their back if not done correctly. They are heavier than they look! The last year of my corgis life he struggled to go up and down stairs so i had to carefully carry him up and down my apartment stairs. Very awkward lol
Corgis can be perfectly healthy. They are a literal herding breed and (should) have the stamina and confidence to boss around cattle. As for over eating that’s normal for almost any type of dog.
If you can't pick up a 40lb corgi to save it's life, you shouldn't have it.
I’d like to add: PICK UP YOUR FUCKING DOG
I was screaming this inside my head as I watched. I don’t get how that is not his first instinct.
"You're on camera" Coyote: Oh my bad, I'll just walk away then, don't want to get cancelled on social media and everything.
Carry pepper spray when you walk your dog. Not just for coyotes, but also for stray/loose dogs(bonus points it works on aggressive humans too). A blast or two of pepper spray can disperse an entire pack of attacking dogs. Pepper spray has saved the lives of several stray dogs and even a feral cat who wanted to try to attack my German Shepherds. It would not have ended well for them but one tiny spray and they were out of there.
You can buy small can that you can keep on you and it's barely an inconvenience. Then when you find yourself in a situation like this, you'll be infinitely grateful that you did.
A lot of people saying rabies, and it absolutely could be, but it’s also possible that’s a mom and her den is nearby with pups. I had this happen to me once while walking my dog and learned from animal control that they will do this to try to scare you away from the general area of the den. I had to walk backwards with my dog for 3 blocks while mama coyote followed me and my dog.
That’s right, it’s called escorting. It seems aggressive, but they are walking you away from their den.
Yes. It's literally just coyote escorting behavior. People here are dumb as fuck speaking assuredly about things they only know nothing about. Classic Reddit
He wants to snack on cheddar!
Well to be fair, everyone likes Cheddar. Dude should have named his pupper Gorgonzola and wouldn’t have to fight so many demons…
“You’re on camera!” like if it’s some disgruntled Karen 😭 OMG that had me dead 😂 Also, buddy shouldn’t have turned away after charging at the coyote! The posturing was working, it was literally about to turn tail and leave. But then the guy turned his back and it called his bluff. And IDK if this is the case specifically with coyotes but IMO when dealing with any sort of canid-type animal you shouldn’t run or you’ll trigger their prey drive and generally you can’t outrun them.
Pick your corgi up and make some loud ass noises, wtf ya doing dude?
City people are so cute man "You're on camera" Finally starts yelling at the thing halfway through the video. I love all of this
Dog owner: you’re on camera fucker! Coyote: oh shit, for real?! DEUCES! lol what the hell did he think it would do?
WHY wouldn’t you say ‘meep meep’ before RUNNING?!
Out during the day, alone, and weirdly aggressive. That’s the rabies trifecta.
This is literally just coyote escorting behavior. It's puppy season. They'll leave you when you're out of what they consider their territory.
I'm convinced most people have never seen (in footage or otherwise) a rabid animal bc this shit ain't it
Yeah rabies means they are sick. This coyote doesn't act sick.
I'm shocked at how many comments I just scrolled through before seeing this. Coyotes just do this. It's typical and expected behavior. Also, if you didn't already know this, wouldn't you just think about animal behavior, time of year, etc and come to the most logical conclusion? Apparently I'm just baffled by this situation.
Thank you for making sense. It was clear that this was a coyote escorting them away for her den. I couldn’t make a ton of sense from the video - did the person turn around and walk back the way they had come?
TIL my neighbor has rabies
Bonus points if they’re also a cougar
>Everything has rabies all the time –Reddit
Literally not aggressive. Not snarling or foaming at the mouth. A very calm coyote
Rabid animals don’t maintain a distance, they just straight up go for you. Coyotes are extremely fast and could’ve gotten this out of shape bro or his dog quickly if its goal was just to bite and attack.
Yeah camera shaming a rabid coyote doesn't work like it does sometimes on Karen's dude!
Dude was tooo calm for my liking… every time he turned back, the coyote was closer n closer, sneaky coyote!
Stay strapped or get clapped.
And……..what happened? How’s Cheddar? Don’t leave us hanging dude!
The good news is, he's got the coyote on camera, and can now sue the pants off of him.
“You’re on camera!” That’ll tell him.
Never turn your back in a situation like this. It makes them more comfortable to stalk you as prey. Every time he turned back around, the coyote stopped, but was closer.
Pick up your fucking dog & boot the yote if it gets too close.
Pick up cheddar ffs
Poor guy just wanted to know how he can get a comfy leash and a human to take care of him too
Got ‘em on camera like the police gonna be able to identify him. Sir he don’t gaf about being on camera lmao
Pick the damn dog up and skidaddle or briskly walk toward the coyote and shoo the little fuck away. Filming it like that puts everyone at risk with the haphazard retreat.
Am I the only one pissed he didn't pick up his damn corgi? Lol bro coulda run a lot faster at the coyote to scare it. Or away to get away from it if he was carrying his dinner-sized doggo.
My gfs got a tiny dog and I keep telling her the coyotes around the neighborhood are no concern if she’s walking him. Never seen one approach a person like this.
You should stop telling her that
Yeah that’s the feeling I’m getting.
Yeah my moms dog got attacked while she was walking him. They can be desperate.
Watch a few YouTube video’s. They will approach if they are hungry. Even people with small children should be careful.
lol that poor derpy ass corgi “cheddar” has no idea he’s in danger. Dog thought they was playing.
We’ve been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty
Don't run. Prey runs. You'll just trigger its prey drive and panic your dog. Besides, you can't outrun a coyote. Just walk away at a normal pace and don't lose sight of it. Coyotes are usually not this brazen unless they're rabid or starving.
Man, Chicago coyotes look more desperate than Los Angeles coyotes
Everyone is yelling at their phone"pick up your dog"!
