Harlow is very dog-aggressive due to some very bad experiences during her time as a stray. (You can see one "combat scar" under Amelia's elbow in those wrinkles on her side from when we'd adopted her last year.) We keep a very tight watch on her because of it. And after one trip to our free-run dog park while we were still learning this, we're never going again. However, she's wonderful with people to a fault. There's never been anyone who's set foof in our house who she hasn't loved immediately. It's kind of embarrasing, because her M.O. is to put her 65lbs. frame into the lap of any houseguest who'll sit still for it and start moaning for affection.

I can't imagine what she'd do about an agressive coyote. She was scary-fast at that dog park. She laid into a pack of 10 dogs, all about 50 lbs. + who were milling and engaging in friendly-dominance behavior that she misconstrued as agressive with zero fear.
I promise not to duck.

I have a 1/2 Great Pyrenees & 1/2 German Sheperd. She's up to about 130 lbs. now and is my wifes lap dog. Great with the grandkids, but only lets those we o.k. into the house and will take out the UPS man if you let her. She was a rescue dog and was a pain to housebreak but in the end it was worth the trouble. She plays a little rough with the cats, but my parrot has her buffaloed. She will chase the horses on occasion but stops when I yell at her. She mostly just playing, but when I needed her she jumped between me and a dog trying to get me and gave me time to draw and kill said dog as it came out of nowhere and I would had been in deep do-doif she hadn't reacted when she did. Goooood Dog! =D

not intended as any disrespect to the poor young woman but with canines attitude really counts.  too many folks get lost in a disney "look its so cute" fantasy. my kids learned that they neeed to ne alpha to the mutts as soon as i could make it happen and size and aggresssion can back off many wild canines. this girl was lacking in size. i might have to get a new younger dog here right away  my older mutts  are getting where their taking on a couple yotes might be problematic. anybody got an experience with dogs that are suitable around small kids and still yote destroyers?  my husky lab was but shes getting old. (no overchurkas please  i'm not sure i'm man enough)

I heard if you quote his name three times in the mirror he appears and kicks you in the nuts....



Old dog was a Springer mix.  About 40lbs.  Very, very fast and very dominant dog.  She was a good dog, understood a cornicopia of commands. 
Solo camping on South Padre Island in probably 98, sunset, chilling with a beer waiting for one of the lines to get a bite.  Dog gets worked up and takes off into the sand dune.  Grabbed the 10/22 and follow.  She's got 3 coyotes backed up against a sand dune, and they don't look very happy.  Shot two, third got out and made tracks when the lead started flying.

Current dog would probably get eaten by the coyotes....but she is like a third kid.  They play and wrestle together.  Amelia will sit on top of her and tell her secrets, sing songs to her.  She will instigate my boy to wrestle or play ball with her.

Back to the topic....

Sounds like something that would happen in Europe.  I think inaction is a side effect of the nanny state.  We're next.

In other news, a 14 year old boy shot a cougar in self defense in Montana. :)

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin
