We have a lot of coyotes around here... and I have an outdoor Siberian Huskey who has a 100 ft run in the back yard. I've looked out multiple times to see him playing with the yotes...

Went out the other morning at 3am (I'm on the 4am shift) to feed him, and lo and behold there are 4 yotes sleeping in a heap with my dog... One of them growled at me and my dog snapped at him. After that, they are pretty friendly with me. Seem to know that my dog won't put up with them growling at me. My dog also won't put up with them stealing his food cause he chased them off when I put it down.

Granted my dog, he's only 50 lbs, but them Siberians are tuff!!!
