Oh my, yes!
We've got coyotes here where we live - and yep, if you're walking your pet, they will come after the pet, not necessarily you. They are very bold; small pets disappear all the time. You don't dare leave your animals outside. Hunting in twos and threes and more, they'll swoop through a neighborhood - they have huge ranges - and kill/eat what they find. Next morning, Fluffy doesn't come home. Neighbors complain, city announces coyote control program, the dog people go nuts, because of the pro-dog outcry the city is forced to cancel the program before it even gets off the ground. The one time that didn't happen was about 30 years ago when a couple of them killed a little girl not far from where we live. Interestingly, however, when a mountain lion kills a dog, that gets peoples' attention.
