First off, I apologize if this gets asked a lot. I did a search and couldn’t find my exact situation, so here I go.
It’s about 9:30 pm and I just got back from walking my 13 pound shih tzu mix.
I live in a suburb of Los Angeles and have seen a coyote here and there, but they have always run away.
Not this time. I spotted a coyote. It walked by, looked at us and kept going across the street.
We were just finishing our walk and saw the coyote turn around and head our way. It began chasing us all the way up the driveway, but we luckily got inside before it caught up.
I was terrified. There were multiple people out with their dogs tonight, but this guy must be pretty hungry to be hunting with so many people around...I’m guessing. I guess I figured one lone coyote wouldn’t hunt a “two person pack”.
I’m not sure what to do. There have been fires in the last couple years, so I can only imagine it’s displaced and food is scarce. I’m scared to go out at night now with my dog.
Is this something I call animal control about? I mean I don’t want any animals to be killed over this (coyote or house pets). It’s a scary situation.
Any advice is welcome. Thanks!
TL;DR: Coyote chased me and my small dog through our somewhat busy suburban neighborhood. Can I do anything?
