I agree it's feasible. But really, I would call this operator error for leaving a pet unattended and vulnerable.

We've all been warned, in the papers and by the sheriff's office.

100% owners fault. This happened because the cat was allowed on a screened in lanai on its own at night. I get furious with irresponsible pet owners.

I do too. This type of thing has been reported for years now. People think it won't happen to them and then get angry with tV for not "doing something about it."

If I had a little dog who had to be let out after dark, he would be on a short leash and I would be armed with a strong light and an air horn.

Our big dogs only go a few feet from the front door for their last night outing. All outside lights on, and we use four-foot leashes. I'm frankly scared for what might happen.

Our dogs wear lit blinking collars, 4 foot leashes, we have extremely bright flashlights and I have golf balls in my hand. they weigh 25 and 30.

I thought the same thing.

I haven't heard about any coyotes in the area of the Savannah Center. Just curious as I walk my dog (leashed) early mornings on fairly well lighted streets but still nervous.

Wonder if they are made of depleted Uranium?

This was a few years ago in Lynnhaven and I could go talk to the neighbors where this happened. It was a bobcat from the print on the ground. This was at two houses a few houses apart on Saluda Street. I do have a friend who is a friend of one of these homeowners on Saluda Street.

The bobcat has not been seen for a few years. It got a third cat about a mile away. https://www.talkofthevillages.com/fo...8-post159.html

Dogs can tell time.

Herding dogs know what time to bring in the sheep or cattle.

The dogs who share our homes quickly learn our schedules.

Our last dog knew what time she was supposed to get her arthritis pill and she never let us forget.

My point is that our pets are canis familiaris and coyotes are canis latrans.

That sweet dog of yours loves you dearly and is loyal and true, and knows your schedule and makes it his own. -- BUT your dog has some opportunistic, street-savvy, shirttail cousins who do not have nice manners. -- Those cousins can tell time, even better than your dog because those cousins have to survive on their own.

Therefore, be aware when you routinely take your dog outside -- just in case one of those tacky relatives knows what time to hang around.

Yes, Boomer, and the key to what you've said is "routine."

Forewarned is forearmed.
Dog owners who are nervous might think about changing their walk routine, i.e., where they walk and at what time.
