I was walking my dog and a cemetery and out came a coyote and Broad, daylight my dog had behind me. I carry a pocket knife and pepper spray for her, not me, and I stared that freaking coyote in the eyes and he backed down because he saw that look at my eyes and he would’ve gotten it if he went near my dog.
