One on one, it's true that a large dog can fight off a single coyote. I had a basset hound in Nevada that was missing for two days. When he finally made it home, his back, along the spine, was cut about 12 inches and all the way to the bone. Full of maggots and that was what saved him. The vet cleaned the wound and sewed him up. Told me the cut was a combination of wounds from coyotes. Must have been a pack of them. I can only imagine that he probably killed several of them to get away. The Vet said it was a miracle that he survived it. Even a huge dog can be taken down by a full pack of coyotes. It must have been a terrifying experience for him.We can hear coyotes nightly around here.. but my behemoth of a dog is more than those coyotes would be able to handle. He's a beast.
You might enjoy his name. When he was a puppy, everyone who came over, would say; "He looks like a..."
His brass name tag said; "Thaddeus J.P. Rockefeller, esquire, junior the 1st" (If found, please call...)
He answered to "Thad J"
