50 years ago it was almost unheard of to hear of coyotes getting anywhere near human habitations, but now some of them live off of poodles and housecats stolen out of back yards. It is just a small step from attacking a small dog to attacking a small human being.
But I would seriously consider the rabies shots, too.
That is because 50 years ago coyotes did not exist in much of the territory they now inhabit.
Since the critter was caught, its brain will be checked for rabies.
