We too have coyotes in our neighborhood, and raccoons.
And I too find myself worried about a confrontation between our dog and the "wild critters".
Of course they can all carry rabies, and I don't advocate trying to pet them.
I'm even bothered by a currently running commercial showing a woman calling a raccoon
into her bedroom (for some stupid reason) to sell some product.
But I'm quite willing to believe that the diet of coyotes,
either in the true wilds or in our more civilized neighborhoods,
is much more composed of rodents and other wild critters
than of pet cats, puppies, or young children.
