>>34504091Coyotes can and will attack pets at their home. They can hop 9 foot fences and use pack ambushing techniques like pretending to be injured to distract a larger dog they intend to attack.
However, it's not random, Coyotes seem to find the flavor of domestication to be delicious. Only way to be safe from Coyotes is to put Razer wire on your perimeter.
