I have probable proof of coyotes in the back corner of my yard. There's a disemboweled racoon in my yard. Not exactly something a dog would do. A lot of it is gone...
Blech...

That kind of thing does happen, but dog attacks are a whole lot more common. I've been growled at by a coyote, licked by a coyote, but it's the loose dogs that I have trouble with. I've been attacked by way to many dogs. I must look like a hoodlum or something. Relaxing bike rides in the country just don't happen for me without being chased down by a group of wandering dogs. I need to keep a billy club strapped to my bike.
I learned to pedal faster. About 15 miles into my usual bike ride, I used to always get chased by two dogs, one pit bull. I quickly learned that no matter if I was tired, I needed to get a second wind when riding up that long hill where the dogs lived.
Around here, riding through the neighborhoods, if a dog comes out running at me on my bike. I stop the bike, get off and introduce myself. I am amazed at the difference a shift in my attitude makes. The dogs are much happier when I stop to visit. Some, even follow me around for a while when I get back on my bike.

Coyotes are sort of scrawny and tan and more foxlike, wolves are bigger, more of a grey color and are much more doglike.
I've seen/heard coyotes all over the area (including trotting down 30-A in daylight), but I don't think wolves are a local animal.
Cool to see neat animals whatever it was!
And foxes are more feline in the way they run. Much smaller than a coyote or a wolf.
Sometimes cats and coyotes get along just peachy ...
True...but Charlie is a most extraordinary example. The cat, Eli, is his best friend. There is a very popular blog about Charlie at http://dailycoyote.blogspot.com/
The pictures and blogs are from newest to oldest so take the time to click all the way to the beginning and, then, work your way backwards. Pretty neat story...
Yes, that's where I grabbed the pictures. I've really enjoyed that blog, and the pictures are awesome.
It's interesting to read that despite Charlie's being somewhat domesticated he is still all Coyote. I don't think he could ever survive in the real world by himself, but at least the owner still lets him have his coyote behaviors...
