There is no reported attack on a human, by a coyote, in the state of Florida. Southeastern coyotes do not attack pets being walked on leashes, as coyotes are opportunistic animals. They will, however, keep coming around an area where they have seen small dogs or cats running free. They will watch and wait for that opening, and they will kill your pet. But, the rules of the Villages prohibit people from letting their pets run free or tying them up outside, so, there should not be any problems with coyotes. But, there is. Every dog killed by a coyote, was illegally running free. That means the owner put their dog's life in danger as well as broke the rules of the Villages. If you love your pet, keep it on a short leash and obey the rules.
