I've had a few up close encounters with coyotes around here, they are pretty common along the river bottom where the off leash dog park that I once frequented is located. I used to go there early in the morning before work with my dogs and the coyotes would hang out yipping and yapping trying to entice the dogs. On one occasion my Anatolian shepherd and I were less than 15 ft from a pair of them. Dunham was a good sized boy, around 100 lbs, he let out a low growl and the coyotes disappeared.
He's been gone a few years now, I still miss him.
