Absolutely correct on this one nONIE. They will easily snatch a small dog even when the owner is walking them on a leash. I just moved from Arizona and this was a constant situation. I came across a coyote one evening in AZ while I was walking my chow-shepherd and, of course, they don't wish to tangle with a larger dog. So, to my amazement the coyote jumped a 6 foot wall WITHOUT EVEN A RUNNING START. They are incredible athletes, but you are right that they will prey on small dogs quickly and care not that a human is alongside.
