Flew R/C planes for a while. Flying field was in a farmer's pasture with no houses for 1/2 mile and a greenbelt/creek a mile away. One evening saw a couple of coyote pups playing on the other side of the air strip about 150 yds away. Even though warned, idiot let his dog, about the same size as the pups, go play with them. They all three romped for 30 minutes, then his dog came back all tuckered out. The coyote pups disappeared.

The next evening the same thing. Saw the pups and let his dog go to play. This time as his dog approached the pups, Momma coyote popped up, grabbed his dog by the neck, one quick flip snapped it's neck, then momma trotted off carrying dinner with the pups following behind. Think both the coyote pups and the owner got schooled by momma coyote.

Often took my Golden to the same flying field. She always stayed 2-3 ft from me unless sent to someone's pickup to fetch a beer from a cooler. Never let her run around free of go off exploring. She was a great dog and I wanted to keep her.
