Of course, it is less stressful to walk through life oblivious to threats and dangers. At least until one of those incidents drops on you like a collapsing concrete wall.
In the long run, is the stress you are creating for yourself really worth it? It's always best to be prepared for the possibilities, but being attacked by a coyote is just not something that you need to be so stressed over. I admit....I just got home from a walk with my pup in the dark. I had a flashlight and a billy club and a whistle....just in case. But I am NOT stressed over it as you apparently are. Take a deep breath and think about it. I feel awful for the one pup and his owner...but it was ONE pup.
