Plus, now I know something abut coyotes I didn't know before-- the luring of prey by one of the pack. I think our golden would look at this as Oh, someone to play with.

You are exactly right; however this is TV and we all keep our pets restrained so it probably wouldn't be an issue.
Actually this prey thing is very interesting to observe. I have watched my two fur friends, in a dog park, go after a dog making distressed yapping noises. They hear this as an injured animal and their wolf instinct kicks in. They don't go in for the kill, but definitely respond with a pact instinct. Now I am talking about pampered pets that sleep with us and are absolute lovebugs until something trips that.
Basically we have taken a wild animal into our home and for the most part this works, but don't ever forget they are descendants of wolves, no matter the breed and that is something that is both awesome and to be respected.
