And teach your kid not to run. There’s nothing like getting a Coyote’s prey drive going.

Thank you! I came here to post the same thing. The coyote was after her dog. It is so lucky it survive!

For real. I know she’s just a little girl but when I was a little girl there was nothing that was going to come after my dog or cats without my defense and I’ve done it before as a little girl. I’m almost mad at the girl that she would have allowed the dog to get hurt. Like she doesn’t deserve an animal at this time. Makes me mad and sick to see it

I would have picked up the dog and ran !

@@evearcana2392 yeah she turned tail and left her family behind

@@tuxievous420 agreed

Poor little dog

Well, she is a little girl. She probably shouldn't be walking the dog by herself in this area though.

So you are blaming a child? Shame on you. If this was an adult, then you’d have a valid argument.

The girl was screaming for help where was you isabella colby no where to be seen so its your fault.

Little or big, its human nature. While dogs always risk their lives to save their human, Humans just sacrifice their dog to save themselves. Disgusting. No personal grudge against the little girl but she could have picked up the dog.

Exactly, had she been walking by herself i highly doubt she would have even witnessed the coyote. If she picked the dog up things would have gone a lot differently.

Exactly!

@@Kyle-sp6dd you think picking the dog up is a good idea? You don’t know canines. That would have made it even more dangerous for the girl..

@@alphafitter4699lol I don’t think you understand coyotes. They are very skittish animals also very curious. The coyote was checking out the dog. I stand by what I said. Had she picked up the dog and stood her ground and yelled/clapped her hands. Nobody would have gotten hurt. We are talking about one coyote….I see them all the time and I live very close to where this happened. You need to know how to react to keep yourself and your pets safe. What she Did was the opposite of what you should do. If you want to protect your pet don’t drop the leash and run away. She put herself and the dog in even more danger by reacting how she did.

Coyotes will not attack anything bigger than a raccoon by itself. A pack may bring down a deer but not a single coyote. The girl was much bigger than the lone coyote would attempt to prey on. It was after the dog from the start. I agree with the OP of this thread.

broooo 😂😂😂

In sure 80% of people would do the same in a situation like that. She was scared, she was 10 years old, and that coyote could have done some serious damage to her Overall I'm glad she did it and she was not injured

Get well ❤️‍🩹

The dog definitely turned to confront the coyote. Unfortunately it has no chance

@@alphafitter4699 confront the coyote because it wanted to survive. lol

I have to agree. This story is over-dramatized. The dog was just trying to save itself after its owner was already gone. After reading the title, I expected to see a large dog go running after the coyote, scaring it off. 🙄

it sad. but we built those suburbs onto their natural environment

@@candisham1978 The dog protected itself from an idiot who ran for her life and abandoned the dog lol

Oh wow they’re getting bolder! What part of AZ may I ask? I have a small yorkie and am thinking of moving to a ranch style home in Mcneal.

@@taylormade4393 6' fence with razor wire on top. That or rows of sharp spikes very close together. Coyotes will easily scale a 6 foot fence if nothing is on top of it to deter them. If more people would do that, it would cause coyotes to stop jumping fences. They would remember getting cut on the last fence they tried to climb over.

First, it's the parents fault for not teaching a child to not run and not act big. Is the humans problem not the animal; and don't assume something what has never been shown. I never saw any bite marks so I don't know if that's true; but I'm glad that the small dog was able to be brave even though the coyote didn't do much. And your comment is an opinion

@@zytotempol8154 Coyotes not going after larger game is not an opinion. As someone as who studied and quite so hunted them, I promise I know a lot.

@@siennashell9283 in numbers they do take larger animals than themselves ,like bigger dogs

I'm shocked the dog is alive! The little girl should have never let go and it's on tbe parents to teach her, if they clearly all know that Coyotes are active in the neighborhood

@@Naejakire3 Yup, it's the parents fault.

And what type of lowly rats make such policies and Sub Idiotic statements about protecting Children and citizens."well wait til a child is eaten, then lip profess false sorrow for them and families" Those nit wits belong in our Toilets with such nonsensical Garbage!

What are you and 27 morons crying about? Kids walk dogs in residential neighborhoods all the time. 9,999,999 of them come home safe for every 1 girl thats attacked by a coyote like this. Things like this take 20-30 years to happen one time in a neighborhood, and you want every parent there to be paranoid, look for coyotes always. What else? Should you check the sky to make sure a plane isn't falling? Should you check the water quality to make sure it isn't poison every day? Should you make sure your city isn't about to fall into a giant sinkhole every day? You won't enjoy life very much thinking its not safe to let your daughter walk your dog. You live life according to the safest decisions possible. And letting a 12 year old girl walk a dog in an upscale neighborhood is an absolutely safe decision for 99% of the 1st world. This girl and her family got unlucky, it happens, you don't need to judge. Coyote attacks happen once in DECADES throughout the ENTIRE country. Its one of the rarest wild animal attacks in America. Stop being so paranoid.

The dog is lucky it's not dead, cause it didn't even have a chance with the coyote.

@@shawn.s.woodward2787 I suppose so. The truth is that dogs are closely related to wolves. Technically most biologists believe they are directly derived from wolves. So it is always possible to breed the most ferocious aspects of wolves into a dog breed. In my opinion, many of the terrier breeds seem to have some of the most fierce aspects of wolves in terms of their psychology. One of the reasons the wolverine is feared by most animals and people is their relentless ferocity and lack of fear. The coyote may have been surprised that this tiny prey like animal had the capacity to fight back.

Fought back even with the huge size disadvantage. Very big heart on that little dog

Unfortunate, but it’s a wild animal. We live amongst them and we need to take measures to protect ourselves. The bigger problem is the Canadian government and the prohibition of such self-defense mechanisms like pepper spray that would easily solve these types of problems without anyone getting hurt.

It's unusual but not unheard of. Trapping them and hunting them keep their numbers in check, and prevent coyotes from becoming habituated.

I mean come on she’s 10 years old she probably threw some rocks at the coyote or something and disturbed it

It means that they are desperate

You are right, after all the coyote was after the small dog and not her. If she was not taught this or had the experience to know this however the best option in her mind would be to run.

She was a scared 10 year old little girl who was being chased by a coyote man.

@@bredenis5 who cares, be brave if you love something you WILL protect it. Don’t be selfish

@@lez4630 I think it’s ridiculous to expect a 10 year old child to have the courage and bravery a grown adult in this situation. Not to mention, she did the right thing since she literally could’ve been killed by that coyote. Her life is objectively more valuable than the life of a canine. Surely you have to realize that.

Literally! I have two small dogs and would go through ANYTHING for them. This girl pisses me off!

@@AlexTheEpic123 same!

How come She ran away without her dog. Very selfish!!

You might be wrong on that. The girl said that she tried to hold onto the leash but the dog resisted her pulling on the leash. At that point, she tried to keep running faster and lost grip on the leash as the dog was attacked or turned to defend himself.

@@michaelskywalker3089 all she had to do was just pick the dang dog up

@samthishan24 yup exactly,

What a loser you are

I am with ya

On the contrary. Coyotes are thriving. And people are feeding them. That is the problem

Yea, that dog was painfully unaware! Domestication kills instinct!

Do coyotes chase people? A coyote will not see a human as potential food - considering their usual prey is a mouse, vole or fallen crab apple. However, like any other species of canid (including your pet dog), they may chase something that runs from them.

@@diomedelanteigne I have security cameras and am a night person. Last summer/winter we had sooooo many foxes and a couple of coyotes. I live on a major city street ....Victoria Park ... Not in the country or anything. Only saw coyotes at night. The foxes where friendly...rabbits, possums, even the skunks were semi friendly....but NOT the coyotes. They would chase anything....foxes, rabbits, neighbourhood cats. Problem is....a person walking a dog. If the coyote wants the dog and you are in its way. I would be worried about even very small children....toddlers. They get hungry enough. Like I said.....I've only ever known them to hunt at night, so the daylight thing tells me they are hungry and brazen. They HAVE been known to attack people. Just search KZfaq "coyote attack". You would be amazed at what goes on at night when no one is around.

@@LittleMissStamper Good information, observations and real life insight. The coyotes in my area I tend to see are roaming our city after dusk only and tend to avoid contact with people. They seem different from foxes, they seem focused and are all business no play.

@@diomedelanteigne tell that to the family of the 18 year old girl in Nova Scotia who was killed by two 40pound coyote

wait what? lol

I carry two pocket knives,I have been attacked by unleashed dogs on three separate occasions.

Google Taylor Mitchell, mauled by coyotes!

YASSSSSSSSS I 100% AGREE WITH YOUUU

I agree

You don't anticipate that a coyote will attack you, especially in broad day light lije this one did. SMH

@@BlackHayateTheThird it’s happened before in broad daylight. People are ignorant to this… don’t assume bc you yourself haven’t witnessed one in broad daylight that it doesn’t happen. As parents it’s their job to know the dangers. Coyote warnings have been posted in the area, the warnings were there. We are seeing them more and more in the daytime as there is less places for them to hide as we keep destroying their habitat. Also I have no doubt the only reason this happened is bc the girl was walking a tiny dog that looked delicious to the coyote, and naturally it went for it as soon as she dropped that leash. Coyotes need to hunt and feed themselves. What are people expecting?

@@Kyle-sp6dd the girl is as tasty to the coyote as the dog! And a way bigger prize! If the opportunity would have presented itself with the little girl tripping and falling in front of the coyote, you would have seen how fast and ferocious the coyote would have killed her! She does not bite back like a dog and would not have been a problem for that size of a coyote to have killed her in a flash! The government is the biggest blame in this entire situation! They are knowingly harboring killers! Not protecting the very people they are supposed to serve! Ignorance is no excuse for someone's ideals as to how they think mother nature should be handled and then forced upon people who expect and deserve better protection from those who are in power!

@@bwcok7947 im sorry but this made me lol, the way you implied this lone coyote would be capable of ferociously attacking and killing her....Have you by chance seen a Coyote in real life? I think by your comment its safe to say you have not. A coyote isnt very large and in no way would be able to drag this girls wailing body away into the forest alone, thats laughable, Maybe if they were in a group and very hungry, but they tend to hunt and travel alone, or in a pair. There is really no reason to act so terrified and upset and angry, they are coyotes not wolves or bears...I live very close to where this particular incident happened, Ive lived here for 25 years and the coyotes have been here the whole time and we occasionally come across each other on walking trails its really not a big deal. Let mother nature be, the government doesn't need to go messing with nature, what do you propose? Killing them off? Relocating them? these are both unrealistic and unethical. Educate yourself on coyotes before making such statements and maybe you would feel less threatened and more prepared if you ever happen to find yourself in this type of situation.

@@Kyle-sp6dd Google Taylor Mitchell killed by coyotes. 19 yo. Adult. A teenager in Nova Scotia was mauled and killed by coyotes in 2009 while hiking in Cape Breton Highlands National Park according to CNN. Chip Bird, the Parks Canada field unit superintendent for Cape Breton, said Taylor Mitchell, 19, was at the beginning of the Skyline Trail when the attack occurred. Hikers apparently saw the coyotes attacking Mitchell and immediately dialed 911. She was airlifted to a Halifax hospital, where she died almost 12 hours later, Bird said. So, I DO know this predator quite well and it is no laughing matter. There is so much misinformation out there now about coyotes yet their populations are exploding. Along with our own encroachment and development into their natural habitats, this causes a bad equation where the complacency or unawareness of the actual dangers that abound will and has ended in the death of a human. Now, with that said it is rare but it is very easily possible. When the populations increase and food runs out where they are normally unseen and live their secretive lives, attacks occur and they are no longer so secretive. This will continue and it will escalate from pets to humans. Without education, intervention, and the respect the coyotes deserve, the falsehoods and flat out denial of the present dangers they present, there will be a brother, sister, parent, aunt, uncle saying,,, why didn't anyone tell us how dangerous they were? I have seen the same size coyote pick up a 100 lb. White tail doe by the middle of her spine and slowly but steadily carry her through a cut cornfield 600 yds. to the fence line. The head and the hams were dragging, yet the coyote seemed very capable and familiar with the task. A 50 lb 10 year old girl unfortunately would be no comparison. Unfourtunatley the 19 yo. Taylor Mitchell, much larger and stronger, did not have a chance either. Also, they are pack animals and live in family groups. You are correct where they may normally hunt singularly or in pairs unlike wolves. This also is a misleading impression that they do not live in packs. When a pack is on the hunt and their cunningness comes into play, a child or even an adult human will not fair very well. Quit misleading people with misinformation and instead honor the mighty coyote with the respect it deserves. They are survivors and are very much a smart predator.

No. Coyotes will run from a human. She's little but she can be strong.

How come coyote attack dogs? Dogs are not food... 😶;

​@@juliannaalfaro4543 >"How come coyote attack dogs? Dogs are not food" Coyotes eat plant and animal life (omnivores), but they prefer meat. Therefore, the coyote has been attacking live animals smaller (e.g., rabbits, squirrels) as a way of life, and if there are none smaller than the coyote, they will attack larger animals. Any time coyotes and humans live close to each other, coyotes have been killing cats and dogs if there is nothing else accessible. Do you think the Yorkie could outrun a rabbit? Rabbits can evade a coyote sometimes because they are very quick and know how to hide. The Yorkie is not skilled at avoiding being caught by a coyote, so it is an easy catch for the coyote. As humans build homes in the homeland of the coyote, the coyote is going to venture into the human living space. If they can find lots of scraps of food, it is no different than if the humans are feeding the coyotes. Therefore, they will return. When they stop a small animal with short legs that it knows it can easily catch, it is going to go for the fresh meat at some point.
