Are they sure this wasn't the neighbor wild husky running loose?

Are they sure this wasn't the neighbors wild husky running loose?

I thought coyotes were larger than that.

I wonder if it's more likely to be struck by lightning than a loose coyote.

This coyote was lying and waiting.

You wouldn't have ever known if this was some neighbor's loose German Sheppard as quick as it happened.

This is why you always grab your kids first and take them inside before grabbing anything else.

But why leave her over there while you look in the car? I kept my babies in sight

And that’s why in utah we don’t need licensing or anything to hunt/trap coyotes

Maybe report on the corruption twitterfiles. Afraid? You’re all bought.

I didn't know they wat people 😕

Please tell me the child was taken to the hospital to get medical attention and rabies vaccination.

I don’t understand why the child that young was left on her own on the sidewalk/yard whilst the dad was distracted on the opposite side of the vehicle. I mean, I take my 18 mo old inside the house first…just sayin’

Very uncool behavior.
