I feel extremely sorry for the people who lost their little dog. But the dog wasn't leashed, and it seems to be an isolated situation.
Coyotes are normally shy animals that can be scared off by loud noise. I've seen coyotes in The Villages but they've been very timid.
I haven't heard of any pets being threatened while walking on a leash.
