2. I've seen video of wild dog packs attacking much larger prey in Africa.

The worst I've ever heard of around here of is a single coyote picking off a yorkshire terrier that was left unattended in the back yard. Someone else told me a coyote followed her when she was walking her two smaller dogs in a state park. Since my dog is over 50 lbs, I thought we were safe.

But a TIBETAN MASTIFF? The one in the photo looks to be over 100 lbs. I've never thought about them (coyotes) attacking in packs. I'm guessing they might have unknowingly walked right past the coyote den. I hope the DNR gets on this right away since it happened near an elementary school.

No more evening walks.
