Your dog just went out the back door alone. You have 60 seconds before a coyote can strike.
RIGHT NOW: Coyote mating season (next 4-6 weeks). Males are territorial, aggressive, and hunting small pets.
What happens: Silent. Fast. Your pet is gone before you hear anything.
What to do TODAY:
→ NEVER let pets out alone (day or night)
→ Leash walks only (even in your yard)
→ Scan yard before opening door
→ Motion lights + air horn by door
Your dog trusts you to protect them. They can't protect themselves from a 40-pound predator.
Go outside WITH them. Every. Single. Time.
