The boy’s dog ran away when the coyote approached which left the boy to fend off the coyote’s attack on his own. After repeatedly punching the coyote in the nose, the coyote eventually ran off leaving the boy scratched and potentially bitten. As a precautionary measure, the teen is undergoing a course of rabies shots intended to thwart the deadly viral infection.The second coyote attack occurred just a couple of days ago, near Greenland, NH. In this case the woman's dog was an able defender, and gunshots failed to drive off the animal. From wmur.com:
The woman involved in the Monday morning attack didn't want to be identified. Her 4-year-old dog, Mac, has too many wounds to count and is wearing a pain patch on his hind leg but was credited with fighting off the coyote.
The woman and her dog were attacked while they were walking in a field on her property. Her husband heard her screams and drove his truck to separate them from the wild animal.
"He fired off a couple of shots," said Police Chief Tara Laurent. "Not at the coyote, because it was near his wife, but he shot off a couple of rounds thinking it would scare the animal off, which is usually the case. And it didn't seem to faze the coyote in this particular case.The attack occurred in a rural area of fields and forest. No mention is made of the make, model, or caliber of the firearm used.
Stab that thing in throat and rip forward...
Oh. Mistress. Now I get it.
I wonder if the animal was rabid. A Coyote facing a dog and a human and another human firing shots and it still would not immediately back down...something was wrong there!
“Oh. Mistress. Now I get it.”
Understandable. Ir comes from paying way too much attention to politics and politicians.
Maybe the coyote had simply decided he wasn’t going to take anymore crap from those interlopers and made his stand?
I wonder what the dog’s wife thinks about seeing this in the paper.
No “Acme” products to help him catch his “roadrunners”?
Never encountered man before? Really hungry? No fear whatsoever?
These hybrids, or “CoyWolves” are aggressive and dangerous. They don’t seem to have any fear of man. They ran down a young woman in Canada a couple of years ago, she didn’t survive her wounds. I caught one trying to entice my German Shepherd to chase it thru the Invisible Fence last winter. It ran off when I went outside, and when I tracked it into the trees, I saw from the prints in the snow that the rest of the pack was waiting to have my boy for lunch. I found a fully grown doe in my woods that they had pulled down. Every vet office around here has a bulletin board full of “lost pet” notices. Now, I never walk my pups without a large caliber handgun.
He’s probably thinking that the B*tch set him up...
No mean feat for a domestic vs feral.
“Maybe the coyote had simply decided he wasn’t going to take anymore crap from those interlopers and made his stand?”
Maybe it’s that cutthroat northeastern communist block
liberal attitude rubbing off and he felt entitled to his
own mistress.
Same thing here. A pets survival rate is usually measured in hours but my wife had a mean- REALLY, REALLY MEAN Pekingese. (She was actually brain damaged) Anyway, she ran off for two weeks, survived and was found. Didn’t see a coyote around here for weeks afterwards. She kind of reminded me of a scene from the Exorcist when she had an episode. She probably made the mountain lions a little nervous too.

Who in the world CARES????!!!!!
Probably an Eastern Wolf

‘Who in the world CARES????!!!!!’
A good reporter would care. It’s part of the story.
I see you are a writer, and I am not a pro writer, but I disagree.
