I agree. The average household dog is nothing but a snack for a pack of coyotes. I was just responding to the statement that a coyote will whip any dog. That just isn't true. There are some amazingly aggressive, huge dogs being bred out there. They are completely fearless and double or triple the weight of the average large coyote. I've seen them in action and would much prefer to take my chances against a coyote, than some of these brutes.
