Coyotes will attack and kill big dogs too. I don’t know the entire story but just from my experience this is the work of numerous coyotes. Not my dog, the coyote does not get enough credit for its intelligence and killing capabilities. #coyoteattacks 

As he states in his post, he doesn’t know who’s dog and exactly what happened but it does look to him (a very experienced hunter/trainer) as well to myself the work of #coyotes

FITCHBURG -- The English bulldog believed to have been mauled by a coyote last weekend died from its injuries Tuesday afternoon, the owner said.Some neighbors near the Brittany Lane house where the attack occurred expressed surprise Tuesday that a coyote had attacked the dog, which weighed nearly 70 pounds.
Christina Wiebe found her dog, named Daisy, in her driveway Saturday morning. It was suffering from extensive injuries and barely conscious.
The dog had been let out the previous evening and had not returned, she said.
Wiebe had followed tracks and blood in the snow to a spot 50 feet from her house, where she believes the attack occurred.
Wiebe's house sits at the end of a cul-de-sac and borders a wooded area south of Electric Avenue and just east of Rollstone Road.
The attack occurred within sight of a play area Wiebe has set up for her nearly 3-year-old son, near the edge of the woods.
"This is scary for us because he plays here, and we just bought him a playground," Wiebe said.
"It's just so close," she added.
Veterinarians at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University, where Daisy was being treated, had just taken her off the ventilator Monday.
Daisy still had a serious risk of infection, and had deep puncture wounds in her back quarters, her neck and her thighs, Wiebe said.
"When we left last night, they gave us a 70 percent chance," Wiebe said Tuesday morning before learning the bulldog had died.

Coyote kills dog in family's yard
HIGHLANDS RANCH - A Highlands Ranch resident had his dog killed by a coyote last week. The owner of the Shiba Inu watched as the coyote jumped a six-foot fence to get to his dog from the backyard.
By the time he ran outside to try and help, his dog was dead and the coyote ran off.
9NEWS spoke to a neighbor in the area who is concerned for other pets and small children, because he claims the coyote is not afraid of people.
"I heard this horrible crying and sobbing and wailing. I tried to figure out where it was coming from. Sure enough, it was coming from the neighbor's house," neighbor Daniel Hargrove said.

A dog was taken to a veterinarian after tangling with a coyote in Stern Grove on Tuesday afternoon, police said.
The pit bull was walking with its owner off leash when it began to chase the coyote, police said. The dog ran into thick bushes, where the owner could hear the sounds of animals fighting but could not see anything.
Officers arrived at the park around 1 p.m. and heard the sound of one animal whimpering and another growling. Using their batons, the officers cleared a path through the bushes until they were close enough to see the pit bull.
The dog was visibly injured, police said, and by then the growling coyote had fled. The owner was able to secure the dog, which was taken to a veterinarian, police said. The condition of the animal was not known.
Police advise dog owners to keep their pets on a leash during walks.

Animal care officials searched for the coyote but could not find it. The agency said the pitbull was off leash in an "on-leash" area of the park. There are signs in the park warning dog owners about coyotes. (Published Wednesday, Nov 22, 2017)

Coyote Attacks Pitbull
A coyote attacked a pitbull in his yard this month in Orange County. Newport Beach dog trainer Vladislav Roytapel says dogs owners must be vigilant.
Playing ball recently turned into a vicious brawl with a coyote for one Orange County pitbull, and a Newport Beach dog trainer wants to make sure other dogs don't fall victim to another attack.
The owners of the pitbull, who asked to remain anonymous, want to keep the details of the attack private, but did tell how an afternoon of throwing a tennis ball to their pitbull took a horrific turn.
"Their home is located on a big piece of property facing a wooded area, and suddenly the dog stopped playing and instead ran to the back of the yard to meet the coyote," Roytapel, who was hired to train the pitbull, explained. "The coyote didn't run away, and the owners screamed but couldn't stop the attack on their dog."
The coyote took off after about five minutes, but the pitbull was left with scratches and other minor injuries. He is expected to make a full recovery, Roytapel said.

FAIRBURN, Ga. -
Residents in Fairburn are worried about coyotes attacking their pets.
Lewis Dunn snapped a photograph of two coyotes near his backyard that have mauled one pit bull and killed another. One attack occurred on Mehaffee Drive, while the other was on Fayetteville Road.

Brody, an 8-year-old Malinois, had worked for the department since 2010.
“Brody was a patrol dog, so he did tracking of suspects, he did tracking of articles or lost children, he was a drug-detection dog," said Lt. Jackie Dunn with the Conyers Police Department.
On Dec. 23, Brody lost his life after a battle with a pack of coyotes while on his handler's property in Jasper County.
“Brody is a very animal aggressive dog. He had spotted some coyotes and he attacked the coyotes. When the handler got to him, Brody was fighting three coyotes. The handler was unarmed. He engaged in a fight with him, kicked and tried to kick the coyotes off,” Dunn said. 
But the coyotes kept attacking Brody until the handler's other dogs came to help. By then it was too late.
"Brody had sustained injuries. He was taken to an animal hospital, where he died the morning of Dec. 23,” Dunn said.

BROOKSVILLE, Fla. - Experts say coyotes are being driven from their homes and are looking for food, because of the drought and extensive wildfires in Florida. That's leading to more sightings in residential areas, and attacks by coyotes on pets. 
Tank is a nearly 100-pound pit bull, but gentle as can be.Today though, he is more timid than usual. 
"He doesn't want to be alone. He's still looking for his friend," said Tank's caretaker Bonnie Hester. 
Tank's best friend was another pit named Bubbles. Every night, Bonnie would walk the same path with both dogs: the adventurous Tank on a leash and Bubbles by her side. But on a recent evening, she encountered an aggressive pack of coyotes
"I've never seen anything like it in my life," Hester said. 
The coyotes started pulling Tank down and running into the woods with Bubbles. 
"I just kept screaming and screaming and running towards them and that's when it all broke up," said Hester. 
Tank was severely wounded. Bubbles didn't make it. 
"They cut their throats. It just was brutal," said Hester. 
Bonnie's been a caretaker for her neighbor's pits and a bulldog named Dixie almost two years. She is heartbroken, but now wanting to warn others to keep close watch for coyotes. 
"It could be a child next time," Hester said.
