No, a coyote was crossing my yard a while back and I thought to scare it off, by running out and yelling and waving my arms to scare it.
Instead of it running off, it stopped and bared its teeth and growled low and long until I stopped and stood still.
It then just continued on it way at its own previous pace............
Something has a hold of my dog and I’m jumping in, damn the consequences.
We have “coyotes” here [they’re freaking big wolf hybrids] and they stalked my dad backwards down a stony ridge until he got to his truck and grabbed his rifle.
As soon as they saw the gun, they took off.
That is *scary* behavior.
/has a porchful of stabbing/slicing/hacking stuff, just in case
