Great. Who lets their dog (or cat) run around at night in this area? There's predators in the woods! I won't allow my cats out unsupervised, as cats tend to disappear around here.
He's pretty harmless, and probably able to take care of himself. Judging by his toenails, normally an inside dog. Dang, he's usually so excited when I open the door, I can't help but let him in and give him a bowl of something.
I've seen 2 coyotes, one cougar, and bear tracks within a mile of my house. And there is a pair of bald eagles nesting somewhere close, usually see one of them every couple of weeks or so.
