Our female rescue greyhound would have defended us, I think.
The problem with this new hybrid coyote is how smart they are, and how much they seem to hate domestic dogs.
Male dogs are extremely vulnerable, as coyotes will use a female coyote in heat to lure in a dog, and then the whole pack jumps him.
They gang up on a single dog, so several smaller coyotes can bring down a good size dog. Someone up thread mentioned two pit bulls getting killed by coyotes. I’ll bet they were chained up and not able to assist each other. Having more than one dog can help even the odds, as long as they can fight together.
